Questions the sound of thunder

1. What is inferred by the 'Sound of Thunder' through most of the story? What is inferred at the end of the story?

Answer:that something scary is going to happen like a murder or something

2.

"So what?" Travis snorted quietly. "Well, what about the foxes that'll need those mice to survive? For want of ten mice, a fox dies. For want of ten foxes a lion starves. For want of a lion, all manner of insects, vultures, infinite billions of life forms are thrown into chaos and destruction. Eventually it all boils down to this: fifty-nine million years later, a caveman, one of a dozen on the entire world, goes hunting wild boar or saber-toothed tiger for food. But you, friend, have stepped on all the tigers in that region. By stepping on one single mouse. So the caveman starves. And the caveman, please note, is not just any expendable man, no! He is an entire future nation. From his loins would have sprung ten sons. From their loins one hundred sons, and thus onward to a civilization. Destroy this one man, and you destroy a race, a people, an entire history of life. It is comparable to slaying some of Adam's grandchildren. The stomp of your foot, on one mouse, could start an earthquake, the effects of which could shake our earth and destinies down through Time, to their very foundations. With the death of that one caveman, a billion others yet unborn are throttled in the womb. Perhaps Rome never rises on its seven hills. Perhaps Europe is forever a dark forest, and only Asia waxes healthy and teeming. Step on a mouse and you crush the Pyramids. Step on a mouse and you leave your print, like a Grand Canyon, across Eternity. Queen Elizabeth might never be born, Washington might not cross the Delaware, there might never be a United States at all. So be careful. Stay on the Path. Never step off.             3.            1.he looked under his shoe and there, there was a butterfly

Answer:I think this is a foreshadowing because the man said if you step on something then you are in big but very big trouble because the hunters might loos there job because the government don't like them in the time because they might destroy a spices or change the future.                                            

                                                                                                                                                                  

2.Go out on that Path alone," said Travis. He had his rifle pointed, "You're not coming back in the Machine. We're leaving you here!"

Answer:if they live them here it is because they don't want the world to now about hem they went to get ride of hem because he steps out of the path.

3.Lesperance seized Travis's arm. "Wait-"

"Stay out of this!" Travis shook his hand away. "This fool nearly killed us. But it isn't that so much, no. It's his shoes! Look at them! He ran off the Path. That ruins us! We'll forfeit! Thousands of dollars of insurance! We guarantee no one leaves the Path. He left it. Oh, the fool! I'll have to report to the government. They might revoke our license to travel. Who knows what he's done to Time, to History!"

Answer:I  think this is a foreshadowing  because something is wrong there is a problem and he steps out of the path so something wrong is going to happen.

Eckels moaned. He dropped to his knees. He scrabbled at the golden butterfly with shaking fingers. "Can't we," he pleaded to the world, to himself, to the officials, to the Machine, "can't we take it back, can't we make it alive again? Can't we start over? Can't we-"

He did not move. Eyes shut, he waited, shivering. 

Answer: now he nows that he is in trouble now his last ours comes.

Homework for Thursday

1.answer the pejorative questions

Many pejorative words are also sexist against women (witch-bad),(wizard-good)

Why might this be?

Answers: I think because wizards are not really in fairytales and the witches if they're playing in a fairytale they are always bad just by saying witch you know that something bad is going to happen and when you say wizard you are not that scared he could be good but he could also be bad I think the compliment of wizard is when they find you smart or something.

2.foreshadowing:foreshadowing is an advance sign or warning of what can happen to you in the future.sometimes the author uses this word in the early chapter of the book they can write foreshadowing to give readers a clue and they might know that something bad is going to happen.

3.foreshadowing and inference are sort of similar words.Foreshadowing is there to tell you that something bad is going to happen in future and inference is like for example I see someone crying so I know that something sad or someone shouted at her,happen that is inference, so the difference between foreshadowing

And inference is that  inference tells you something from the past and foreshadowing tells you from the future I think so.
