I read the story "The Sound of Thunder,"" by Ray Bradbury. It is about how we could go back in time. With one mistake we could change our future. I will be judging the authors story. Many of you will agree or disagree with my judgment or what I think the author is trying to the message to the readers. This story talks about having a time machine, letting hunters have an experience going back in time and hunt dinosaurs. This is a bad decision letting anybody go back in time for any reason. Travis is one of the persons in charge of the time machine. The government knows about the time machine. They are ok with it as long as the costumers follow the rules. Travis is going to take one of the customer's named Eckels back in time. He tells Echels he needs to follow the rules and not get off the path or he will pay a penalty.
Eckels is stubornd and keeps asking what will happen if he steps off the path. Someone like Eckels should not go back in time. He is one of the people that will make a mistake. Travis tells him if he gets off the path, let's say he kills a mouse he could change the future. Travis says if there was no mouse the fox won't have food and will starve. Then for ten foxes a lion starves to death. The fifty nine million years later a caveman appears. One of a dozen on the entire world goes hunting wild bears or sabre toothed tigers for food. But because you killed a mouse a caveman starves. With one caveman is an entire future. This is really interesting if you really think about it it's true. Eckels understood but when he seen the dinosaur he got scared and didn't know what to do. He got off the path and they he found his way to the time machine. Then Travis saw he had mud on his shoes. He got mad at Eckels for not following the rules and got off the path. Hey went back home. Travis told Eckels he could never come back and get in the time machine. Later Eckels find out, he stepped on a butterfly.
