Dangers Of Time Travel In A Sound Of Thunder, By Ray Bradbury

In A Sound of Thunder, the author, Ray Bradbury, offers an effective interpretation of the dangers of time travel and possible ripple effects it could have, emphasizing our connection with one another. He also studies the connections between the different time lapses and he does it through vivid descriptions and gripping narrative. In A Sound of Thunder, Bradbury focuses on the delicate balance of the world and argues how little change can cause major damages in the long run.
Bradbury's creative ability to paints a very vivid and clear image in his description of T-Rex, what the hunters have come to kill. In his descriptions, it is filled with metaphors. “The great dinosaur raised itself. Its thick skin shone like a thousand green coins. The

coins were covered by a thick, sticky liquid in which tiny insects moved. The whole body seemed to move, even though the monster itself stood still. It breathed out. The terrible smell of dead meat blew down upon them.” (Bradbury 6). The metaphors in the text presented very realistic descriptions of describing the dinosaurs. Although Bradbury had never seen a dinosaur before, he made the text, descriptions and metaphors seem as if the Tyrannosaurus Rex was standing right in front of you.
