A Sound of Thunder

It towered thirty feet above half of the trees, a great evil god. (page 6)

-
-
-
And the head itself, a ton of sculptured stone lifted easily upon the sky. (page 6)
Similies
Like a stone idol, like a mountain avalanche, Tyrannosaurus fell. (page 8)
It was like standing by a wrecked locomotive or a steam shovel at quitting time, all valves being released or levered tight. (page 8)
Suddenly it all ceased, as if someone had shut a door. (pgae 6)

Touch
Eckels swayed on the padded seat, his face pale, his jaw stiff. (page 2)
-
he felt the trembling in his arms and he looked down and found his hands tight on the new rifle (page 2)
Sounds
The rifles cracked again, thier sound was lost in shriek and lizard thunder.(page 8)
Within, you could hear the sighs and murmurs as the furthest chambers of it died. (page 8)
The jungle was wild and full of twitterings, rustlings, murmurs, and sighs. (page 6)
Smells
-
-
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. (page 11)
Sights
Overhead, a gigantic tree branch broke from its heavy mooring, fell. (page 8)

Foreshadowing
"Makes you think, if the election had gone badly 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.
"Step on a mouse and you crush the pyramids. Step on a mouse and you leave your print, like a grand canyon, across eternity. Queen Elizabeth might never be born, Washington might not cross Delaware, there might never be a United States at all. So be careful. Stay on the path. Never step off!" (page 4)
