The wind had blown shingles from our house and water began to pour in. My father’s anger was converted

Tyger!

We shouldn’t be blind to the consequences of our actions. Even from the very time they stepped out of the machine we can see the theme is being delineated. When Eckels proclaims that killing a mouse won’t do any harm and will not change the future, Mr. Travis, the safari guide proceeds to explain that they only mark animals that will not be important in the future
