The conflict is solved thanks to Noah. Noah. Shelly, and Abbey came up with a plan to get onboard Dusty’s ship and flush a bright colored liquid so everyone could see it.

    Compare And Contrast A Sound Of Thunder And Nethergrave

    Ray Bradbury’s “A Sound of Thunder” beautifully describes the future and had a lot better story plot than Gloria Skurzynsky’s “Nethergrave”, which lacked the edge-of-the-seat action that “A Sound of Thunder” contained. One reason I prefer “A Sound of Thunder” over “Nethergrave” is the concept of time travel. Another reason is that Ray Bradbury has great descriptions and adjectives of what he thought the future would be like. Also, the characterization in “Nethergrave” was not as good as “A Sound of Thunder”.…

    Sound Of Thunder

    A Sound of Thunder is a great story written by Ray Bradbury, however, Nethergrave is an even better story written by Gloria Skurzynski. Though both of these stories are science fiction, I enjoyed reading Nethergrave more than Sound of Thunder, the story has more of a unique feature to it, seeing as it is not set in the future and most science fiction stories are set in the future like A Sound of Thunder. Also the imagery in Gloria’s story grabs my attention unlike in Sound of Thunder. Both of these stories are great at grabbing the readers attention as it grabbed mine.…
