Sound of Thunder Compare and Contrast

Sound of Thunder Compare and Contrast

Ray Bradbury wrote the story the Sound of Thunder and later came out with a movie that was based on his story. The book and movie are comparable in many ways but also differ at the same time. One way they are comparable is the fact that both selections Eckels steps off the path and kills a butterfly. Also both selections the team that went through the time travel had shot and killed a dinosaur. When they come back from the expedition they realize that a new president had been elected. Lastly, in both selections Travis kills Eckels. Although the story and the movie are comparable in a lot of ways they also differ in some ways as well. One way they differ is in the movie Eckels shows more fear towards Travis than he does throughout the story. Also in the movie the time machine is a hover craft that sits six inches above the ground, and in the story the time machine is not clearly explained. As you can see the story and the book of Sound of Thunder are comparable and also can differ at the same time.
