Sound of Thunder Theme

The "Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury is a futuristic tale the deals with the consequences to time travel. In the story Eckels decides to step of the path in the past and accidentally steps on a Butterfly. That mistake completely altered the future. That's why the theme of the story is that small decisions can have big consequences. When they all came back to the past the spelling of the sign was changed to "TYME SEFARI INC." And when Travis asks who won the election, the official says "Deutscher, of course! Who else? Not that fool weakling Keith" That death of that butterfly alone changed the spelling and the outcome of the election, proving that such a small action could have big consequences. This theme can apply today in 2013 because if you lie about simple thing today it could build up to something you never wanted. Next remember to think before you act.
