Time

The short story “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury is an extraordinary tale that talks about the time travel paradox. The time travel paradox is a logical belief in time travel. “A Sound of Thunder,” is a story about cause and effect.

The story is about cause and effect because the main character goes into a time machine that allows life forms travel back in time. The protagonist, Eckels, is a customer who wanted to proceed back in time because he was commonly known as the trophy hunter and wanted to try something new. He went back in time and he stepped off a path that was meant to never change the future and he did. He caused the future to change from President Kieth to President Deutscher.

The story is terrific and awesome because of the science in the tale and the fantasy. I specifically really like fantasy which makes the story even better. The personal favorites of mine are when Travis, the Safari Leader, his assistant, Lesperance, and two other) hunters, Billings, Kramer, and Eckels found the Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) and panicked. This was where Eckels proceeded to walk off the path and changed everything. After the travelers went back to the future, Travis killed someone, but who?

Changing one thing could change the infinite possibilities in the world that could happen. One simple and little thing could destroy a whole country. Everyone has a choice, but most of the times, people choose the wrong one. There should be more cause and effect in the world, but for the better.
