The Sound of Thunder

The Sound of Thunder is an awesome story and example of Ray Bradbury's genius. This was another story I read previous to this course but didn't fully process until this second read.

In it he talks about the dangers of time travel in such a powerful and poetic way. Bradbury's ability to tell a science fiction story in such a unique way made him such a icon in literature, this piece easily being one of his most vivid and well written short stories.

The part that stood out to me the most was when he described the Tyrannosaur Rex. The way he setup the scene and described his teeth and scales was amazing.
