A Sound of Thunder.” By Ray Bradbury * • Born August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois • One of the most prominent American Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, and Mystery Fiction writers of the 20th and 21st Centuries * * Best known for his dystopian novels *Explored the human condition *Explored the human heart * *Has a distrust of technology *He never learned to drive *refused to use a computer *avoiding flying for over 60 years *Skeptic of E Books and E readers *“Science fiction is a wonderful hammer; I intend to use it when and if necessary, to bark a few shins or knock a few heads, in order to make people leave people alone.” * Bradbury has published more than thirty books, close to 600 short stories, and numerous poems, essays and plays. Book Preview: Someone turn off the lights please! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7uXHb9oW Yg It is the 24th century. Books are considered dangerous and illegal. Nobody is allowed to own them. Most people are happy being plugged into their technology, where they do not have to think too hard. All books that are found are burned. “It was a pleasure to burn” Guy Montag is a fireman. It is not his job to put out fires. It is his job to start them. Before Clarisse, Guy Montag was proud to be a fireman, proud to uphold the law, proud to burn. A man once sure of his purpose is now suddenly questioning his mere existence. He wonders why books must be burned. What power do they have? It wouldn’t hurt just to take one and read it, right? Unfortunately for Guy, he lives in a society where censorship is king; a society where you don’t know if you can trust your friends, your family, your spouse; a society in which criminals are tracked by relentless mechanical hounds that never fail to bring down their victims…. Guy used to uphold and enforce the law. Bringing home a book will cause a chain of events that not even he could have anticipated… Fahrenheit 451 is a book about the dangers of censorship. Yet this book itself has been the object of censorship. It has been banned and/or challenged in many places across the United States. * As you watch the following interview, jot down notes about Ray Bradbury’s personality and purpose. What stood out to you? What do you assume his writing will be like? Be ready to discuss! http://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=EzD0YtbViCs * Ray Bradbury, Who Brought Mars to Earth With a Lyrical Mastery, Dies at 91 * *The Frayer Model 1.) annihilate: to destroy completely 2.) correlate: to figure out or create a relationship between two items or events 3.) expendable: not worth keeping; not essential 4.) paradox: a statement or an event that sounds impossible but seems to be true 5.) resilient: strong but flexible; able to withstand stress without injury 6.) undulate: to move in waves or in a smooth, wavelike motion 7.) infinitesimally: in amounts so small as to be barely measurable 8.) malfunctioning: not working or operating properly 9.) stagnating: becoming foul or rotten from lack of movement 10.) subliminal: below the level of consciousness * https://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=Gf86aR5DS7Y * Climax most exciting/suspenseful moment Rising Action Suspense is built Falling Action Winding down Exposition Background is given Resolution problems are resolved Literary Device Focus Imagery –(sights, sounds, smells, tastes, & feelings) Simile – A comparison using “like” or “as” Metaphor – – A comparison of two unalike things not using “like” or “as.” Ex. “Juliet is the sun” Onomatopoeia –– When words sound like what they mean. Ex. Boom! Pow! Personification – Giving human characteristics to something not human. Ex. The wind screamed Foreshadowing- Hints or clues given by the author about events that will happen later. Special Note: In German the name (Deutscher) means “German.” This story was written right after WWII when Hitler’s Germany was considered the ultimate example of evil, not only because of the holocaust, but in a political sense because they were so different from us. They had long had a dictatorship while we have had a democracy. Literary Device Practice Notice the ways Bradbury describes his time machine (top of p.40). Find 3 similes that help us to better imagine the essence of this machine. #1 #2 #3 Critical Thinking What is the purpose of the antigravity path? (p.41) How then are they allowed to hunt if they can’t step on the grass? If they do not want to kill a mouse, then why a TREX? Isn’t this also problematic? What does the theme of this story seem to be so far? Make some predictions as to what might happen. Elements of Style Bradbury is extremely proud Discuss: The author uses imagery of his description of the to describe the T-Rex. What effect Tyrannosaur. does this have on the reader? Bradbury states, “I say to the audience ‘ I’m going to stop you here okay?...and you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to describe a dinosaur as it has never been described. Now watch this.’ And then I sit down and write a prose poem about this wonderful creature that comes gliding out the jungle.” Critical Thinking (p. ___) How serious of a problem is it that Eckels jumps off the path? Why does he do it? (p. ___) – rather grotesque – in what detail does the author describe the final moments of the beast? Is this good writing? Why or why not? (p. ___) – Why is Travis angry at Eckles? Is this thematic? The Grand Finale Tyme SefarI Inc. Sefaris tu any yeer en the past. Yu naim the animall. Wee taektuthair. Yu shoot it. The story concludes with an eerie, twilight zone type of ending not only for Eckles, but for the reader. How does Bradbury use his theme to shock his reader in the end of this story? * Follow the model below to construct your own SWBS statement about “A Sound of Thunder.” Examples Wants But So Somebody wants to but he must learn about protect so he learns how to use his parents, himself from his powers for good and Harry Potter be happy, the dangers to protect himself and and make he faces at his friends friends Hogwarts * somebody = who - the individual/character wants = what but =complications/problems/conflict so = solution/outcome Examples Wants But So Somebody he encounters wants to find food Rainsford General Zaroff and he must play in order to stay alive and shelter his deadly game A Sound of Thunder (Eckles) The Butterfly Effect Did you know that each of these shows and /or movies has been influenced by the story we are about to read? Can you guess how? The Butterfly Effect • The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado • The flapping wing represents a small change which causes a domino effect The Butterfly Effect To understand the concept first let’s start with something we already know like the domino effect. 1) As the world runs out of oil gas prices will rise. 2) When this happens prices for specialized items of import and export (coffee) will eventually rise. 3) Food prices will then rise 4) The price of products that require oil to make them will also rise. (8 & ½ gallons of oil in each car tire)! The “Butterfly Effect” is similar, except that we cannot see what causes what. We know that small things can effect entire systems. A Sound of Thunder The idea that one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect on historic events seems first to have appeared in “A Sound of Thunder”, a 1952 short story by Ray Bradbury about time travel. The “Butterfly Effect” is now a common clichéd plot device; however Bradbury was the first to use the idea in fiction. Can you give any examples in stories when changing the past even if only in the smallest way alters the course of the future? Writing Assignment Observe with care the specific literary devices you paid attention to while reading this story. Remember what made you select these devices and why you thought these were effective. Now you are going to emulate Bradbury’s style in a page length piece of fiction of your own. Writing prompt: Choose a specific place and time to travel back to on a safari. First, have your narrator introduce the time and place. After you set the scene, have your narrator encounter a specific creature, or event and describe it by using at least 5 literary devices. .

He began writing for the movies in 1952—with the script for his own Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. The next year he wrote the screenplays for It Came from Outer Space and Moby Dick. And in 1961 he wrote Orson Welles's narration for King of Kings. Films have been made of his "The Picasso Summer," The Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451, The Mar- tian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the short animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright, based on his story of the history of flight, was nominated for an Academy Award.

    A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury Imagine being able to travel back in time. Many writers have explored this idea in science fiction stories and movies. You are about to read one of the most popular_and thought-provoking_stories about time travel ever written. LITERARY FOCUS: STYLE AND MOOD A writer’s diction, or word choice, greatly defines a work’s style. Style is also determined by sentence length and complexity. A story that is written in brief simple sentences, for example, is different in style from a story written in long complex sentences. See below: Style: Simple Style: More Complex The sun rose. The air was warm, “It was Miss Murdstone who was my coffee was hot. Nothing arrived, and a gloomy-looking lady stirred. Nothing breathed except she was: dark, like her brother, for the lizard. That lizard could whom she greatly resembled in outstare a rock. face and voice . .” (from David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens) The use (or non-use) of imagery and figurative language also has an effect on style. In the story you’re about to read, Ray Bradbury uses vivid imagery and figurative language to create a style that is as lush as its prehistoric set- ting. Mood, like style, is also created by diction, sentence length, imagery, and figurative language. A story’s mood, or atmosphere, can be described using adjectives like scary, calm, and mysterious. • As you read “A Sound of Thunder,” notice how Bradbury's choice of words, imagery, and figurative language creates a unique style.

  • "A Sound of Thunder" –Ray Bradbury
    A Sound of Thunder --Ray Bradbury The sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film of sliding warm water. Eckels felt his eyelids blink over his stare, and the sign burned in this momentary darkness: TIME SAFARI, INC. SAFARIS TO ANY YEAR IN THE PAST. YOU NAME THE ANIMAL. WE TAKE YOU THERE. YOU SHOOT IT. Warm phlegm gathered in Eckels' throat; he swallowed and pushed it down. The muscles around his mouth formed a smile as he put his hand slowly out upon the air, and in that hand waved a check for ten thousand dollars to the man behind the desk. "Does this safari guarantee I come back alive?" "We guarantee nothing," said the official, "except the dinosaurs." He turned. "This is Mr. Travis, your Safari Guide in the Past. He'll tell you what and where to shoot. If he says no shooting, no shooting. If you disobey instructions, there's a stiff penalty of another ten thousand dollars, plus possible government action, on your return." Eckels glanced across the vast office at a mass and tangle, a snaking and humming of wires and steel boxes, at an aurora that flickered now orange, now silver, now blue. There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame. A touch of the hand and this burning would, on the instant, beautifully reverse itself. Eckels remembered the wording in the advertisements to the letter. Out of chars and ashes, out of dust and coals, like golden salamanders, the old years, the green years, might leap; roses sweeten the air, white hair turn Irish-black, wrinkles vanish; all, everything fly back to seed, flee death, rush down to their beginnings, suns rise in western skies and set in glorious easts, moons eat themselves opposite to the custom, all and everything cupping one in another like Chinese boxes, rabbits into hats, all and everything returning to the fresh death, the seed death, the green death, to the time before the beginning.

  • Study Guide for Bradbury's a Sound of Thunder Answers
    Study guide for bradbury's a sound of thunder answers Continue Summary in Bradbury Sound of Thunder, a hunter named Eckels pays $10,000 to travel with Time Safari, a time machine company that takes hunters back to the time of the dinosaurs and allows them to hunt Tyrannosaurus rex. The company does not guarantee anything - neither your safety nor your return, and there are strict instructions and expectations of how hunters should behave as soon as they travel in time. Eckels and two other hunters, Billings and Kramer, must obey their guide, Travis, at all times. Before leaving, Ekels looks through this information with a man at the table, and they both engage in a small conversation. Everyone is happy because President Keith has just been elected, and many saw time travel as a way to avoid the present day was Deutscher, another candidate and potential dictator, won. When they traveled sixty million two thousand fifty-five years ago in time, Eckels is incredibly excited about the idea of conquering the beast of Tyrannosaurus rex. He observes, My God, every hunter who has ever lived will be jealous of us today. This makes Africa look like Illinois (3). Before they get out of the time machine, Travis points out the path laid by Time Safari. It floats six inches about the ground and is the only way that hunters have to travel. They don't touch anything during their stay in the past and they only shoot when the guide and his assistant instruct them to shoot. When Eckels asks about this particular rule, he is struck by the seriousness of Travis' reaction.
