Synthesis - Ray Bradbury story #2

Good Morning!

We'll start today by reading one more story from Ray Bradbury: "A Sound of Thunder." 
After you read the story, please go to your blog and create a new post with answers to these questions:
  • Who is the protagonist?  Who is the antagonist? 
  • How does the point of view from which the story is told affect your understanding of it?
  • Why are the time travelers told to "stay on the Path?" What is "the path"? What could happen if a traveler goes off the path or steps on a mouse, for example?
  • The narrator uses the phrase "A sound of thunder," several times in this story. What is the sound of thunder being referenced?
  • What point might the author be making with this story?  What other potential themes are there?
