2. They would want to go back to 1492 because Deutscher would have started one of the worst dictatorships in the United States.
3. To shoot it in the eyes so that it is blinded and them shoot the brains.
4. Sixty million two thousand and fifty-five years.

10."Why, why," Eckels twitched his mouth. "It could reach up and grab the moon."

Bonuses:
1. When I read the first "sound of thunder" I inferred that the dinosaur had appeared. When the story said "the thunder faded" I inferred that the dinosaur had died. Right at the end the sound of thunder infers that the guns are being shot.
1."A sound of thunder. Out of the mist, one hundred yards away, came Tyrannosaurus Rex A fount of blood spurted from its throat."
2."Somewhere inside, a sac of fluids burst. Sickening gushes drenched the hunters. They stood, red and glistening. The thunder faded."
3." He heard Travis shift his rifle, click the safety catch, and raise the weapon.
There was a sound of thunder."
In example 1 when the dinosaur came out the story said that there was a sound of thunder, thus I infer that the dinosaur is the thunder. In example 2 when they shot the dinosaur in the brain it died and the story said that the thunder faded, thus I infer that again when the dinosaur is gone so is the thunder so the dinosaur must be the thunder. In example 3 though when Travis took the safety off his gun it said there was a sound of thunder, thus I infer that he is shooting his gun but I also infer that there may be a dinosaur outside of the building.

1. Ostrich eggs: This uses sight imagery and shows how big the eyes are. Also it uses something big we know and using it to show the size of the T-Rexs eyes.
2. Pebbled skin: This also uses sight imagery and shows how the skin is patterned like pebbles on the beach.
3. Sunk in thick ropes of muscle: This uses sight imagery and has a very graphic way of making you imagine the muscle intertwined on the bone. Also thick rope is strong and shows the strength of the beast.
"It came on great oiled, resilient, striding legs. It towered thirty feet above half of the trees, a great evil god, folding its delicate watchmaker's claws close to its oily reptilian chest. Each lower leg was a piston, a thousand pounds of white bone, sunk in thick ropes of muscle, sheathed over in a gleam of pebbled skin like the mail of a terrible warrior. Each thigh was a ton of meat, ivory, and steel mesh. And from the great breathing cage of the upper body those two delicate arms dangled out front, arms with hands which might pick up and examine men like toys, while the snake neck coiled. And the head itself, a ton of sculptured stone, lifted easily upon the sky. Its mouth gaped, exposing a fence of teeth like daggers. Its eyes rolled, ostrich eggs, empty of all expression save hunger. It closed its mouth in a death grin. It ran, its pelvic bones crushing aside trees and bushes, its taloned feet clawing damp earth, leaving prints six inches deep wherever it settled its weight."3.
1.There is a bit were it foreshadows that something bad will happen and it does because Travis said that Eckels nearly killed them and that they would have to pay loads of dollars to the government.
"If you disobey instructions, there's a stiff penalty of another ten thousand dollars, plus possible government action, on your return."
Because Travis warns Eckels that if he does anything against the rules then he will pay up so obviously.
2. Another bit is were it foreshadows that at the end of the story when they get back Duetscher will have been elected and they will have done that.
"Makes you think, If the election had gone badly yesterday, and Deutscher had won, I might be here now running away from the results."
If people talk about how if Deutscher would won then people would go back in time so agian at the end they will have changed the future and Deutscher would have won.
3.At the middle the story foreshadows that Eckels will go off the Path later in the jungle.
"Stay on the Path. Don't go off it. I repeat. Don't go off."
Because Travis stresses that Eckels should stay on the Path indicates that he will later go off it.
Extra Bonus:
Simile: Use the noun simile when describing a comparison between two fundamentally different things, such as: "His voice was smooth, like butter in a warm pan."
1.Sheathed over in a gleam of pebbled skin like the mail of a terrible warrior. This is a simile because it says that the dinosaur skin is like the mail of a warrior.
2. Its armoured flesh glittered like a thousand green coins. This is also a simile because it uses the thing "green coins" and applies that greenness to the dinosaur skin.
Anaphora: When the same word or phrase is used at the beginning of a series of sentences, that's anaphora. Used to show emphasis in speech or writing, anaphora is a popular tool for politicians, religious leaders, lyricists, and poets.
1.The Machine slowed; its scream fell to a murmur. The Machine stopped.
Metaphors:I t came on great oiled, resilient, striding legs.

Symbolism: When you come across objects in a painting or story that stand for a concept, the artist or author is using symbolism to convey ideas.
1. The red paint symbolizes that the dinosaur will die.
2. Deutscher symbolizes a world gone wrong.
3. The title of the story symbolizes death
4. The guns symbolize that there is going to be a killing.
