Did you know about the butterfly effect, is the idea that small things can have a big effect later on like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon in the future. Like in the story they go back to the Jurassic era Mr Eckles is running from a Titanosaurus rex antecedently steppes on a butterfly, and that changes the future when they get back. I think the big idea of the story is that when you get scared you can make mistakes or do something wrong by accident.
In the story “A Sound Of Thunder”, by Ray Bradbury, the author believes that fear sometimes leads to more problems and mistakes when making a stressful decision. When the dinosaur apiaries and they catch a glimpse of it, Mr Eckles exclaimed; “Didn’t REALIZE it would be this BIG! MISCALCULATED! Now I want out! Get me out!” (Bradbury page 4). This is the fear that can lead to mistakes like stepping off the path or accidentally killing something and change something in that future. As the story continues and that gets back to the present they find that it has changed Eckels sat down “NO! it CAN’T be! NOT a little thing like that! NOT a thing like that! NOT a BUTTERFLY!” (Bradbury page 7). This is the fear and stress of not dying can make bad diction making just like running and accidentally stepping on the butterfly.
To sum up, my points when you make decisions under stress or fear you can make a big mistake or do something wrong. So, think about what decision you can make that will help you in the future.
