He depicts his transformation into an animal from an outside perspective and describes, “I let the spit fly, nostrils wide -- my body spasmed in their grip. My voice spiraled up into coughing hysteria” (Torres 118). As the narrator loses control, he remains cognizant of his actions, but the reader realizes that his actions are no longer control by him. While his father eventually faded into his steady beat, the narrator loses himself in the hatred, pent up for all of those years where he kept silent. Through vivid imagery, the narrator depicts how this creature attempts to destroy itself. While his father’s loss of control exhibited itself as a steady pounding, the narrator unleashes the animal who was tethered down for all those years with his constructed walls modeled after those of his father. His father exhibited similar characteristics in that they were unsuited for him. The narrator remembers, “When we thought he would stop, he didn’t; when we thought he would speak or scream or cuss, he was silent” (Torres 58). The narrator’s explosion of emotion was marked as out of character for the boy who never expressed himself, even to voice his fear. The brothers had expected their father to yell or be violent, so when

David Sedaris uses characterization a lot in the story, especially about Dale and Peg. Characterization shows the theme in this story very well because it brings us deeper into the lives of disabled people and it shows us how much we

Even when people do not realize it, everyone is always learning from other people. Characters in stories all have a variety of different personalities. One character from the stories desires to be daring and fearless, while the other character is both both of those qualities. Since one character desires to be something that he is not, he puts his imagination to the test and makes his own perfect scenarios.

In the many stories we read, the two characters that seemed the most similar to me were General Zaroff, from The Most Dangerous Game, and the character only know as Eckles, the main character in The Sound of Thunder. These two characters are from different stories, though they do share many traits that can be compared. While one might question the morals of one more than the other, the general basis of their interests are similar at the least. As well as being similar though, again, they have some very obvious and blatant differences. For example, the game they hunt is heavily contrasted, and the means of their hunting is extremely different.

In Ray Bradbury’s “A Sound of Thunder”, a hunter named Eckels hires a company to take him through a time machine to a prehistoric era to hunt a Tyrannosaurus Rex along with four others (two other hunters and two guides). Because they went back in time, it is mandatory that no one kills any living thing there except for the dinosaur. They can kill specific ones because the guide named Lesperance marks the dinosaurs that he knows are about to die. Unfortunately, Eckels sees the Tyrannosaur and is shocked and absent mindedly jumped of the metal pathway. The guides kill the dinosaur and they head back.

David has grown threw the novel and is becoming an adult independently and using his knowledge in difficult situations. He sacrifices his own life to protect himself and other around him. His discovery about truth of all the things his father had said about deviations and the fringes. He maturated and had more knowledge of the world and others around him. All of his action contributed to the major theme of the novel. He grew throughout the novel with discoveries, mistakes and sacrifices and with his growth and maturity he had a better understanding of the world around him.

In his short story ‘A Sound of Thunder’ Author Ray Bradbury utilizes the characters of Eckels and Travis in order to build an allegorical representation of humanity’s ego.

David was in college when he decided to hang himself in his father's garage because of depression, we also learned that he is smart, in fact, too smart for his own good, but also did drugs. At first, the author did not reveal that David is already dead because, in the earlier chapters of the story Harold and his wife had always kept it a secret, they are in denial, in pain, and Harold is blaming himself. When we get further into the story it is revealed that David hung himself in Harold's garage during his college years, and as the story progresses we finally understand why David has nothing to say in the story or has no dedicated chapter for himself. I chose David as the static character because he had been dead long before this story took place, and obviously that did not change throughout the story, we only get to see what he is like and what happened to him through the protagonists' eyes. 5)

The protagonist David identifies himself, both in the successes and pitfalls with women. When David is first introduced, he is engaged in intercourse and declares, "what the consensus of the day would have held as a perfectly beautiful woman". Nevertheless, his facial expression as well as the attitude of his account both signifies a deficiency of genuine fervor and a detached, half-shamed posture to his current

The central theme of my book “Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard - The Sword of Summer”, is that you must rise to the challenges of life and face them head on.

The main conflict is man vs. nature where Magnus must find a way to bind Fenris Wolf before he escapes and starts Ragnarok.

David, the novels main character, is a symbol of the typical white patriarchal South African male, whom after the fall of Apartheid is undergoing and suffering from the rapidly changing political landscape of South Africa.
