in a sound of thunder, there was foreshadowing when one of the characters explained what would happen if someone got off of the path. this gave me a hint that someone would step off of the path. in being prey there was foreshadowing when plum wood kept having a feeling of unease this gave me a hint that something bad was going to happen. when you read two stories do you ever notice anything they have in common or different in the two stories, A sound of thunder and being prey I found many things that they had in common and things that were very different. one similarity between these two stories is that both of the main characters had to face a dangerous situation. in A sound of thunder the dangerous thing was the dinosaur that the main character Eckels had to hunt. in being prey the dangerous situation was plum wood being attacked by a crocodile Another similarity between the two stories is that the conflicts were caused by animals. in A sound of thunder, the animals that caused the conflict was a dinosaur. in being prey the animals that caused the conflict was a dinosaur. Another reason these stories are alike is that they both have to
Here are the flashbacks and foreshadowing. One of the similarities is they both had to do with animals and their parents telling them something. The other is that they have flashbacks of animals. Those are the similarities with flashbacks and foreshadowing.
The first similarity is the conflict of the story. The conflict of this story is when the cobras, Nag and Nagaina, are trying to get rid of Rikki, the mongoose, the boy, Ted, and his parents. In the book the cobras said, “When there are no people in the Bungalow,did we have any mongoose in the garden? So long as the Bungalow is empty, we
First off, they are both science fiction stories. “A Sound of Thunder” is a story about time travel, while “Nethergrave” is about virtual reality. Another similarity is that the main characters in both the stories die in their “real worlds.” One is the result of a chain reaction from stepping a butterfly, the other by choosing to remain in a virtual reality. Finally, in both stories the characters leave their real worlds for new and different experiences. Eckles leaves to go on a great hunting expedition, while Jeremy leaves to escape the loneliness and isolation he
Five years ago you could have found me hiding under my covers, praying to a god that I no longer believe in with my eyes shut tightly—but not anymore. These nights I offer up a two minute thanksgiving for the sake of karma; I look out into the darkness and I recognize the shadows as objects in my house rather than the faces of my dead grandfathers. It feels good to open my eyes, but I’ve traded in that old ignorant twinkle for a steady calmness. I still duck and cover when an insect the size of my pupil is within five feet of me, but from a distance I know that I am not so different from the tiny creature. If I am a predator, I am not the kind of predator who hunts but rather the one who kills out of fear. I prefer the role of the prey— it suits me well. I avoid conflict: I prefer spending time at home with my wife, I weigh less than 100lbs, and I have been notorious for becoming paralyzed with laughter upon being attacked by testosterone-laden family members. If a human or other animal my size or larger were to want me for dinner, I would be an easy target though my meat wouldn’t feed a family of four.
Louder than a Bomb is a documentary by Jon Siskel and Greg Jacobs. We are invited into the lives of four different Chicago teenagers as they prepare for the city wide poetry slam. These four students come from various backgrounds and schools.
Comparing The Sniper and Ambush There are many similarities and differences between the two short stories The Sniper and Ambush. Both short stories have very interesting settings that take place in different places. Ambush and The Sniper also have very similar characters but with very different outlooks and feelings. The two short stories have very intriguing but very similar themes. The settings in the short stories The Sniper and Ambush are very different but have a few similarities.
I found in the three short stories that I read “The Foghorn”, “Sound of Thunder” and “All in a Summer Day” had three common “similarities”. First each of the stories I read had a sense of fear. In the sound of thunder story Eckles saw the tyrannosaurs and he experienced fear because he was so scared of the dinosaur. Also in the fog horn the characters turned the fog horn off and the monster had thought it was its friend and was being betrayed and attacked which scared the characters because they thought it would kill them. And in the last story I read all in a summer day the little girl was scared that the sun might not come and it would continue to rain for the next seven years. Next the stories each had a life lesson that helps to give us advice in the future. First in sound of thunder the theme was don’t mess with time and everything you do affects your future because
Some similarities are obviously that they are both slaves who are trying to escape their misery. The characters also have a good relationship with their fathers because they taught them how to care for themselves and what to do when they need
... almost nothing alike from a superficial aspect. The stories have different historical contexts and they simply don’t have much in common to the average audience. It is easy to contrast the stories, but deep within certain elements, the stories can be linked in several ways.
Imagine going back millions of years just to hunt a dinosaur. Imagine trekking through the jungle and seeing a gigantic thirty-foot tall ten-ton beast. Shooting at it causes the dinosaur to run forward, and a little step off of the Path in fear causes a catastrophe. “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury proves that making mistakes can cost you more than you ever imagined. Looking into certain aspects of the story will help to define how mistakes came about, and how to solve them.
While reading different stories, you can find many similarities between the texts. For example, Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus and Thisbe are two stories that have many similarities. Throughout the story, the characters have many of the same traits. Similar events take place in the two stories. All these events lead both stories to a tragic ending. Stories can be similar in many ways. The characters, the setting, and the story line itself. Stories can also be very different. One may talk about an event that will break your heart, while another might bring a smile to your face. The two stories The Man to Send Rain Clouds and Old Man at the Temple have many similarities and differences in their settings due to the place, time, and culture.
The common elements in the two stories are the wolf, Little Red (Riding Hood/Cap), her grandmother, and her mother. The beginnings of the stories are also similar: Little Red?s mother sends her to grandmother?s house because the grandmother is ill. Both stories mention that Little Red is personable, cute, and sweet. This is something that, on initial inspection, seems irrelevant but holds a deeper meaning for the symbolism behind the story. In both stories, the wolf, wandering through the woods, comes on Little Red and asks where she is going. When Little Red responds that she is going to visit her sick grandmother, the wolf distracts her with the suggestion that she should pick some flowers so that he can get to her grandmother?s house first. The wolf arrives at Little Red?s grandmother?s house before Little Red and disguises his voice in order to be let in. When he is let into the house, he promptly devours the grandmother and disguises himself in her clothes in order to eat Little Red as well. At this point, the two narratives diverge.
Another, similarity these two stories have with each other is their themes. They shared powerful themes, such as how control can affect a person, and the insecurities one may have. ...
The biggest similarity between the two stories is the notion of moral decline; the beings start off as peaceful things that don’t need homes, food or anything. As time goes on they need those things and more. After a while they start stealing from each other and eventually hurt each other.
In conclusion, these stories are very similar in many ways. Out of all the themes that could be used to compare the two, the most important ones are hatred, manipulation and hatred. Hatred is disliking some one or something and there are many characters that dislike each other. Manipulation is using your creativity to come up with a way to get someone to believe something that is not true. Lastly, jealousy, which is wanting something that someone else has and doing things to get it which is what Iago did in the play and Fernand did in the movie.
