In one of Mr. Bradbury’s short stories, “The Dragon”, man’s ability to explore our vast physical universe provides him the opportunity to witness something that people from his own time period have never witnessed before. Man’s curiosity, coupled with his ability to uncover the secrets of our crazy physical universe, leads him to unimaginable places. The Seven Wonders of the World, outer space, and even I quote from the story, “The Dragon”, “a land of nightmares” are just a few examples of how man’s curiosity leads him to a number of wonderful discoveries. Though mechanical aptitude and an unending quest for discovery may lead man into peril at time, as it did in “The Dragon;” it is these same unique traits which allow man to discover true wonders of the universe. Man’s ability pry open the secrets of the universe enables him to go places that no simple-minded creature has gone before. These attributes set man apart from all the other animals. Although Mr. Bradbury saw this as a flaw, I see it as man having benefits over all other physical creatures.
