Sound Of Thunder. (((
Simile),
out of dust and coals, like golden salamanders,
all and everything cupping one in another like Chinese boxes, rabbits into hats,
It was like standing by a wrecked locomotive or a steam shovel at quitting time,
They fired at the metallic eyelids and the blazing black iris, like a stone idol, like a mountain avalanche,
There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time,
), ((
Metaphor),
We got an iron man now,
Time was a film run backward. ,
The Monster lay, a hill of solid flesh,
that hill of nightmares and terror,
The jungle was alive again,
), ((
Sound),
The jungle was silent.,
Another cracking sound,
There was a sound of thunder,
), ((
Sight),
glistening green and gold and black, was a butterfly, very beautiful and very dead.,
The colors, white, gray, blue, orange, in the wall, in the furniture, in the sky beyond the window,
Eckels glanced across the vast office at a mass and tangle, a snaking and humming of wires and steel boxes, at an aurora that flickered now orange, now silver, now blue.,
), ((
Touch),
He held out his hands. Each held a number of steel bullets.,
Travis nudged the still body,
He held up a clod of dirt, trembling,
), ((
Smell),
Eckels stood smelling of the air, and there was a thing to the air, a chemical taint so subtle, so slight, that only a faint cry of his subliminal senses warned him it was there,
Eckels breathed, the light of the Machine on his thin face,
Eckels turned slowly to regard the primeval garbage dump,
), ((
Personification),
The Machine roared.,
the roaring light.,
), ((
Forshadowing),
He did not move. Eyes shut, he waited, shivering. He heard Travis breathe loud in the room; he heard Travis shift his rifle, click the safety catch, and raise the weapon.,
But the immediate thing was the sign painted on the office wall, the same sign he had read earlier today on first entering. Somehow, the sign had changed,
), (
Theme,
The theme of the story could be that even the slightest change could change everything so in life you need to learn to be careful ,
