83 Words1 Page

Sides’ account frames Carson mercifully. Without a doubt Sides acknowledges that Carson committed brutal acts, but ultimately Blood and Thunder presents Carson as a man of strong character and value, a man who followed orders diligently. On the other hand Denetdale’s framing of Carson highlights the atrocities and violations of humanity that he committed, making him the face of mass displacement and enormous pain and suffering on the part of the Navajo and the Mescalero Apache who were also interned at Bosque Redondo.

    1428 Words  | 6 Pages

    In A Sound of Thunder, by Ray Bradbury, the act of hunting symbolizes man’s greed and unnecessary need to control his environment. It’s a commentary on modern humans that hunt endangered species for their own wants. Hunting animals for game isn’t a necessity; humans hunt animals because we are greedy and have an urge to control our environment, whether or not we should. In the text, when the hunters travel back in time, the tour guide says the path is to, “keep you from touching this world of the past in any way” (3). This shows how humans aren’t supposed to interfere with the world by hunting these dinosaurs.
