A Sound of Thunder Answers
A Sound of Thunder is a Science Fiction and Suspense story.
"A real time Machine, makes you think"
A time machine is a technology of the future or a partially true scientific theory.
"He indicated a metal Path that struck off into green wilderness." The metal path is futuristic because it floats.
"We were fools to come. This is impossible." Eckels says this when the dinosaur is first seen. It creates suspense by making the reader feel what he feels.
" Does this Safari guarantee that I come back alive?" This quote at the beginning of the story creates suspense about what will happen.
" His face was numb, his mouth trembled." This is a reaction to the realization that the world has changed. We are in suspense because we can 'feel' his fear and we don't know how much has changed.
These examples prove that the story is suspense and science fiction.

Great job on the presentations!
Now we move to more (post) modern genres.
Consider each of the stories you have read in library time.
(3 maximum, 2 minimum)
State what genre each is and give examples followed by explanations. (you know, proper answer form)
Next, consider the stories we have read in class.
Discuss each of them in the same way.
ALERT! ALERT!
Some of the stories are more than one genre!
