Thunder And Prey Compare And Contrast

I am comparing and contrasting Eckels from Ray Bradbury’s “ A Sound Of Thunder” and General Zaroff from Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game”. Both of these characters have very different personalities even though they both love to hunt it was their life passion.But they got bored of what they love doing and they tried to force their hobby to be something it wasn’t. And because they both tried pushing it too far by hunting bigger, better, more dangerous game it came back to haunt them. And that is where my thesis statement comes in, both Eckels and Zaroff got tired of what they loved and they tried pushing it to the extreme and it came back to haunt them.

The authors in the narratives, “The Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury and “Nethergrave” by Gloria are each about technology altering the life of the main characters. Although both narratives include many different subjects as the story progresses, both explore the idea of emotions affect the way technology is used. Due to their theme, conflict, and setting, the story “The Sound of Thunder” is a better novel than the narrative “Nethergrave”.

Between the story a Sound of Thunder there were two men hunting for humans and they were friends until they want a part. Some of the man were and they got shot and killed. And in both story like sound of thunder and being prey the theme and elements are like a dangerous like both of the story are in the dark and have to hunt and find food and shelter.

There are many similarities in the stories A Sound of Thunder and Nethergrave. Both main character in both stories don't know exactly what they are getting themselves into. They both think it's just another day; that they will end up home and happy. But that is not the case. A Sound of Thunder's main character, Eckels, thinks he can face a tyrannosaurus with no problem. Later to no avail, he panics. In Nethergrave, Jeremy, the main character in this

In both stories, the conflicts are very similar. They are both dealing with their lives being in danger. "I sent up a man five years ago for murder. He was supposed to hang, but up north they commuted it to life. Now he's free-I don't know how. Anyway, it looks like he's coming back" (Foreman 295). Sometimes

I will be comparing and contrasting the setting, the conflict that the two main characters face, and the theme for both of the texts “The Sound of Thunder” and “Being prey.” The setting between “The sound of thunder” and “Being prey” is in both of them both took place in a safari. Therefore the sound of thunder is going back in time for dinosaurs, the story “Being prey” Val Plumwood looking for cave drawings on rocks. While she started her journey.

“A Sound of Thunder,” its setting actually changes from present to the past. The reader knows this since on page 80 the text says, “A.D. 2055. A.D. 2019. 1999! 1957! The machine roared.” This is when the hunters are going back in time to hunt dinosaurs. Also on page 81 Travis mentioned, “Christ isn’t born yet,” proving they had went so far back in time that Jesus wasn’t even born. However, in “Being Prey” the setting takes place in The Kakudu’s Wetlands in Australia which is a completely different setting from the other story. I t is like a swamp kind of. On page 90 the text says, “…wetlands are especially stunning…” and …”Lagoon” or on page 91 it comes right out and says, “In the swamp.” The settings are similar since they both create an uninviting mood with lizard-like creatures. The setting s of these two stories are very different yet surprisingly

To conclude, the stories have similar meanings, as in both arrogance leads to social downfall and the stories use similar ways to lead the reader to this conclusion. However, the stories have very different themes and use different symbols to achieve the same

In these two works there are similarities and differences in plot. A similar plot from both stories is that the protagonist, a soldier, had to kill someone. “He must kill the enemy that enemy and he could not use his rifle.”(O’Flaherty

The setting of the stories “A Sound of Thunder” and “Being Prey” are very different. Eckels, from “A Sound of Thunder” is originally from 2055, Plumwood, from “Being Prey” is in the present day. Eckels goes to the past and observes dinosaurs in the prehistoric jungle. However, Plumwood is in Australia

For years stories have been made based off giant reptiles like “Jurassic park” but I will be telling you the two stories that will grab your attention if you are into dinosaurs, dangerous animals or reptiles.

A Sound of Thunder is about going back in time to seek thrill of killing dinosaurs that are extinct in their own time so they time travel to the real thrill. In A Sound of Thunder they are all really excited and really focused to be getting back in time to be hunting and killing these dinosaurs but when they get there Eckles got scared and didn’t want to hunt anymore but the others killed the dinosaur anyways, when they returned their old world was different because Eckles brought a butterfly back to the present from the past and this is known as the “butterfly effect” and then Eckles ends up being shot for messing up time.

In the stories A sound of thunder and Being Prey they both have a lethal deadly setting. Both locations are very riskydangerous. Eckels and Val are both exploring uncharted territories. Eckels journey exploration to the past could have been deadly. For instance the safari people said “We guarantee nothing… but the dinosaurs.”

In conclusion both of these stories are different and similar in so many ways. Although people must be careful with the decisions that they choose, they must know that decisions that are bad for other people can be good for that person. Provided with this information is a list of my

The 2 stories compare very well but they have there differences for example in the Las Vegas Shooting There Was No Hurricane he had to overcome. The Las Vegas Shooting He had to get pass a hurricane of bullets to help people and get them somewhere safe he overcame this but still came out injured. The Hurricane kid played the role of a leader and hero at 29 he had experience. The Las Vegas shooting he had lost of thing he had courage and was brave he wasn’t afraid he saved lifes knowing his was on the line. Jonathan Smith said “ He would want someone to do the same for him” he bravely acted thinking these people would probably do the same thing for me so why not do the same for them. Zachary Dearing played the leader the role of “The One”
