Compare And Contrast Nethergrave And A Sound Of Thunder

World War I was an extremely violent and traumatic time for soldiers on the fronts of the war, but even though it was a dramatic time for these men the memoirs from the war was varied on the western front within the German ranks. Two well known books written by the German men were Storm of Steel, written by Ernest Junger, and All Quiet on the Western Front, written by Erich Maria Remarsque which were written on the same frontier, yet were different on many basic levels. In Storm of Steel, Junger explains the war through his own personal journal that he had written while in the war and though very patriotic and nationalistic the events in the book were as they hapepned in history to the last detail that

“We’re here to give you the severest thrill a real hunter ever asked for. Travelling you back sixty million years to bag the biggest game in all of Time”(Bradbury 224). The thought of travelling back in time just to shoot a prehistoric beast of the Past is just that; a thought. People now can’t even imagine what it would be like to look a ferocious dinosaur in the eyes, but it may happen one day in the Future. Ray Bradbury paints this picture for us in his incredible story about this unbelievable mystery with figurative language and personification. “A Sound of Thunder” follows a big game hunter, Mr. Eckels, through a Time Safari of the Future and how he completely changes the world around him by disregarding the dangers of Time Travel,

In the story “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury, foreshadowing is used multiple times to hint at events to come in the future. The story follows Eckels, who paid to go on a safari to the past to kill the legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex. On many different occasions characters hinted at important events that would take place. These foreshadowing lines include Travis, the safari guide, repeatedly telling the hunters to stay on the path, the man behind the desk telling Eckels that disobeying rules would result in a large fine or government action when he returns, and the conversation about the results of the presidential election.

Beowulf and Lord of the flies are both old stories with many important lessons to be learned. Both stories have interesting and complexing events that take place throughout the novel that are caused by lots of violence and evil. These acts include many different different facets including death. While both stories revolve around death Piggy and Simon’s death, in Lord of the Flies, were much more influential to the other characters, plot, and the theme than beowulf’s death.

How can we modernize a story to make it more relatable and understanding to a new generation of learners? The book, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief based on the original,“The Legend of Perseus,” is taken and molded into a new take on ancient greek mythology. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief draws on and adds to the original characters, uses similarities and creates differences to rejuvenate the old story.

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”.

I'm Choosing to compare and contrast “Nethergrave” and “The Sound of Thunder.” Each Of these two fictional short stories, take place in a world much different from ours, with impossible settings and circumstances. Each story is narrated by a male protagonist, which are forced to make hard dissensions in a complex universe. These science fiction stories are packed with interesting details and kept my eyes glued to the words as I raced through the pages.

In the stories “Nethergrave” and “The Sound of Thunder”, there are lessons and examples of real-world problems. However, I think that the problems that are in “Nethergrave” can be most associated with kids of today. While “The Sound of Thunder” addresses a similar topic children and teens can relate more to “Nethergrave”. Children, but mostly teens, can relate to Jeremy because he does not fit in much, doesn't like hanging out with people, and likes to be alone and play one the computer. These kids should realize that the online-world is not always going to be nice and happy, something may go wrong they will end up getting hurt.

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.

When it comes to technology, ‘A Sound of Thunder’ uses it better than ‘Nethergrave’. In ‘Nethergrave’ the computer is the technology and it doesn’t seem like a main part in the story until the end. ‘A Sound of Thunder’ uses a time machine. This is an excerpt from the book - “….-1999!

The Big & Scary Dino Ray Bradbury uses various literary devices, like metaphors, similes, and imagery, in his short story “A Sound of Thunder” to convey a big picture of the T-Rex and to make the reader feel how the characters feel in the moment they are facing the beast. He makes the reader feel petrified along with the characters when he talks about certain features of the monster, like the teeth and the legs. However, he also takes the reader’s mind away from the monster’s vicious nature for a split second when he writes of its vulnerable parts. This helps the reader relate to the characters on a deeper level by reminding them that even a malicious T-Rex has a weakness.

People read books. People read books all the time. Some people don’t like books, others love to travel through the adventure of them. Books are a part of life and no matter what route you take you will encounter books. Books open people up to a new world of goblins, ghosts, and civilizations fighting each other over a bag of bread. Books give emotions and have people go through states of suspense, thriller, action, and so much more. In this book, Jurassic Park, I did experience a lot of those emotions and realized the adventure the book took me through. I mainly chose the book for the reasons of action, and suspense because those really touched my heart in such a way, in such a passion. So let's get on with it!
