Sound Of Thunder
Metaphors
“The jungle was alive again, full of the old tremorings and bird cries. Eckels turned slowly to regard the primeval garbage dump, that hill of nightmares and terror.”
-
“The Monster lay, a hill of solid flesh.”
“The Monster twitched its jeweler’s hands down to fondle at the men, to twist them in half, to crush them…”
“The Monster lashed its armored tail, twitched its snake jaws, and lay still.”
Simile
“Out of chars and ashes, out of dust and coals, like golden salamanders, the old years …might leap.
-
“After a long time, like a sleepwalker he shuffled out along the Path.”
“Like a stone idol, like a mountain avalanche, Tyrannosaurus Rex fell.”
-
Touches
-
"He held up a clod of dirt, trembling, "No, it can't be. Not a little thing like that. No!"
"...took cotton gauze from a metal box, and returned to the others, who were sitting on the Path"

Sounds like music and sounds like flying tents filled the sky, and those were pterodactyls soaring with cavernous gray wings, gigantic bats of delirium and night fever.
"Eckels felt his eyelids blink over his stare, and the sign burned in this momentary darkness"
The rifles cracked again, Their sound was lost in shriek and lizard thunder.
Foreshadowing
¨We don't want anyone going who'll panic at the first shot. Six safari leaders were killed last year, and a dozen hunters."
"Makes you think, if the election had gone bad yesterday, I might be here now running away from the results. Thank God Keith won. He'll make a fine president of the United States".
