A Sound of Thunder Scavenger Hunt
Theme
The theme is that little things can make a big difference. (Butterfly affect)
Personification
A snaking of humming wires and steel boxes. (pg.1)
The sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film sliding warm water.(pg.1)
Touches
And there was a feel. His flesh twitched. His hands twitched.(pg.11)
He felt the trembling in his arms and he looked down and found his hands tight on the new rifle.(pg.2)
He could feel them moving there, beyond the walls, almost, like so many chess pieces blown in a dry wind ....(pg.11)
Sounds
The jungle was wide and full of twitterings, rustlings, murmurs, and sighs.(pg.6)
Another cracking sound. Overhead, a gigantic tree branch broke from its heavy mooring, fell.(pg.8)
Somewhere, someone must have been screaming one of those whistles that only a dog can hear. (pg.11)
Foreshadowing
I'm warning you, Eckels, I might kill you yet. I've got my gun ready. (pg.10)
Stay on the Path. Don't go off it. I repeat. Don't go off. For any reason!(pg.3)
Similes
Examine men like toys. (pg.6)
Out of chars and ashes,out of dust and coals, like golden salamanders. (pg.1)
Sheathed over in a gleam of pebbled skin like
the mail of a terrible warrior. (pg.6)
All and everything cupping one in other like Chinese
boxes. (pg.1)
Teeth Like daggers (pg.6)
Metaphors
Its eyes rolled-ostrich eggs.(pg.6)
A great evil god.(pg.6)
And the head itself, a ton of sculptured stone, lifted easily upon the sky.(pg.6)
Its boulderstone eyes leveled with the men.(pg.8)
Each lower leg was a piston.(pg.6)
Smells
A windstorm from the beast's mouth engulfed them in the stench of slime and old blood.(pg.8)
The stink of raw flesh blew down the wilderness.(pg.7)
Eckels stood smelling the air, and their was a thing to the air, a chemical taint subtle.(pg.11)
Sights
The colors,white gray,blue,orange, in the wall,in the furniture,in the sky beyond the window were......were...(pg.11)
The same man sat behind the same desk. But the same man did not quite sit behind the same desk. Travis looked around swiftly. "Everything okay here?" he snapped.(pg.10)
Eckels glanced across the vast office at a mass and tangle.(pg.1)
