Response to A Sound Of Thunder

Isnt it weird how in A Sound Of Thunder, Eckels just killed a butterfly and everything changed. They had a different president and the sign said something else. He was so confused and scared. This story was actually interesting.

Emerson said it

1. "Society is a wave. The waves moves onward, but the water of which it is composed does not"
  • society should move on even though something is holding you back
2. "All men plume themselves on the improvement of society, and no man improves"
  • everyone tries to be themselves nut turns out to be exactly like everyone else
3. "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance"
  • Jealous  about someone else because he's not aware of himself/gift
4."Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members"
  • society is a place whether you fit or don't. For example school is a place where you keep yourself from being your true self
5."He has a fine Geneva watch but he fails of the skill to tell the hour by the sun"
  • we built all these wonderful things  and we don't know how to use our "natural resources"
