Theme
- The theme of "A Sound Of Thunder" is surely little things can have/make a large impact/consequence. This is proved several times throughout the story, very clearly supported by the seemingly small, measly death of a butterfly, but that thing that seemed so small and unimportant, changed the entire future in so many ways.
