Sound of Thunder vocabulary

A Sound Of Thunder

My response to A Sound of Thunder is amusing. Why? Well because it's crazy how something very small can have so much meaning in the future. It can be irrelevant to us, yet it has much more meaning to something out there. A insect dies & that changes who becomes president it changes practically the whole future. To me, the meaning of this story was he wise , in other words be smart on what you do or say, because it can definitely cause something much bigger to happen. It can come back and bite you on your a**.

P.S : 1st story that actually caught my full attention!! LOVED IT

Daniela & Ariel :

Edgar : " we focus on what's new, not and not original" I agree with him because society always wants the new things, new shoes, new phones etc. a and as new things are being created we forget about the original things and it doesn't matter to us anymore.

Elizabet & Esperanza :  " People now a days reply on tools and gadgets" I agree with her because we built great tools that we don't use our skills now.

Leslie : " to be yourself ....is the greatest accomplishments I agree, everyone has their own talent and that can get you places

Neri & Maria : "nothing can bring you peace but yourself" I agree, because when you do what you like it brings you peace and happiness to yourself.

Joesph believes that being misunderstood should not bring you down. "Misunderstood is a bad word, sooner or later you're going to be great." I agree,  because lots of people might not understand your point or what you're trying to show them, and just because they disagree or don't fully see your point does not mean you're wrong, it just means you're different and you're thinking like the rest don't.

Emerson for the young buck

What I learned about self reliance is that you should be yourself and not let anyone hold you back from being yourself. If you fit in with the crowd you're not better,  you're not thinking on your own. Others are doing the thinking for you. Being afraid of speaking your mind is not right and it won't get you anywhere in life. " Every great man is unique"  meaning everyone has something special and different that others don't have and you have to show everyone else that side of you.
