Michael Gomez 11/28/11 In the short story, “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury, the setting takes place in a time traveling company where people are given the opportunity to go back in time to the era of the dinosaurs and be able to kill one. Eckels and a few others take the opportunity and decide to go back in time and kill a tyrannosaurs rex. The usage of foreshadowing brings out the conflict where Travis (Group leader) kills Eckels. The constant threats said by Travis directed to Eckels, brings suspicion in the audience if he kills Eckels or not. Eckels as an hunter, is motivated to go back in time, not only be able to see one in his own eyes, but kill a T-rex.
Mary Shelley uses many language devices to portray conflict in the novel Frankenstein. In chapter 5, Mary Shelley uses alliteration to convey to the reader the emotional conflict the monster is forced to face. Victor finally finishes his creation and observes its appearance: “I beheld the wretch -- the miserable monster who I created”. This suggests to the reader that Victor is not pleased with his creation as he calls him a “monster”; the word “monster” makes the reader visualize a horrendous, spine-chilling, eerie creation creating a dark ambience. Furthermore, the author uses feelings to describe the monster.

In “A Sound of Thunder” you feel the intensity almost the whole time. You can almost feel Eckels fear when he finally sees the T-Rex. It is interesting how he seemed so excited to go back in time and hunt a dinosaur, yet, he wimped out when he was really there. The sound of thunder being the dinosaur was a great description. At the end, the sound of thunder is left to our own interpretation.

Lord Of The Flies Motif Essay In “Lord of the Flies”, William Golding uses symbols and motifs to convey his theme of the nature of mankind.

Nowhere in the novel is there a happy thought of war, it is constantly being shown as a destructive route to go. This portrayal of war in a negative light is highlighted by including the words slaughterhouse in the tittle. The slaughterhouse is the location where animals are slaughtered, the parallel between this and the tittle is that the book promotes the idea that war is an unnecessary route and only leads to the slaughter of humans. The tittle of the novel also reflects the major motif of Death. Death is embedded in every chapter and is used to show the destructiveness of a war.
“(168) This novel gave the idea of suicide to the Monster which was inflicted upon being denied by everyone and not knowing his spot in humanity. As the Monster read “Paradise Lost” he connected to having a war with his creator, and believes that he was Victor’s “Satan”. Thinking in the role of Satan, the Monster kills Victor’s family, just like Satan took away God’s angels. The novel “Plutarch’s Lives” gave the monster some input on life. “The patriarchal lives of my protectors caused these impressions to take a firm hold on my mind; perhaps, if my first introduction to humanity had been made by a young soldier, burning for glory and slaughter, I should have been imbued with different sensations.” (170) The Monster finally found his reason for being on earth and he believes he found his spot in humanity.
