    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”.…

    1. The setting for the short novel, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, is in the state of Mississippi, in the early 1930’s, which means that it is right during the middle of the Great Depression. I believe the setting is very important to the book because in Mississippi during those times there was a lot of racism and racial segregation, the African Americans people could not do the same things that Caucasian, white people could do. Also the setting is important because if they author had put the book set in a place like New York City the racism would not be the same as if she set the book in a place like Mississippi or really anywhere in the South. In addition the setting is important because if it had been set in the…

    Since I started playing football, I’ve come across teammates and coaches who fight through the effects of brain injuries on a daily basis. Those experiences alone helped me decide at a young age that I wouldn’t let my children play football. As a child, I wasn’t informed about head trauma and it continues to haunt me each day. I was just chasing a dream, hoping to change my family’s lifestyle and fortune. My children won’t need to risk their brains for this same goal, thanks to the benefits I’ve received from playing the sport professionally.…

    This novel was made into a film in 2007 and won many awards for its acting, music, and many other categories. In general, the film was extremely loyal to the plot and character development in the novel. The director made sure that many of the little details that were present in the novel were in the film. I think this is what made the film so notable; the filmmakers did so much to make the film as similar as humanly possible to the award-winning novel. However since the book is so heavy on the character’s internal dialogues with themselves, the film obviously couldn’t replicate that amount of abstract speech without a continuous voiceover. Thus, even though the film did a fantastic job of translating the outward actions, words, and perspectives of the many different characters in the novel, it couldn’t have possibly translated the immense amount of nuance in the character’s internal dialogues. For these reasons, I believe that the novel version of “Atonement” is superior to the film version. Film just can’t capture the emotions and thoughts of the characters the way that the written word can.…
