The Sound of Thunder Compare and Contrast

The DVD, “The Sound of Thunder,” had some similarities, but also some differences to the book. In both, the DVD and the book, you could tell that the safari leader, Travis, did not like Eckels, the main character, from the first time they met. Travis was very curious and strict about the rules of time travel, while Eckels did not find these rules to be that important and was reasoning with Travis. You could also tell how scared Eckels was of the dinosaur, in the DVD and the book. In the DVD, Eckels gave a scared expression, while in the book the details helped me to picture how scared he was. Another similarity is the setting of the story. While there were similarities between the DVD and the book, there were also differences. By watching the DVD, I noticed that some of the dialogue was different from the book. I could also see how the other hunters acted by watching the DVD, while in the book there was not enough details for me to determine how they would be acting. Another difference was that the butterfly was orange in the DVD, but it was green in the book.
