A Sound of Thunder. Getting at meaning

A sound of thunder. * Getting at meaning:
1.- Because he’s excited to hunt and kill a dinosaur, and he seems to have experience in hunting. He mentions to have killed tigers, wild boars, buffalos, elephants and he may want something bigger to kill.
2.- Eckels is in danger of not coming back, he might die in the past and the franchise cannot guarantee his return. The Time Machine seems to be a very magnificent machine, more or less like a spaceship, with a lot of buttons and apparatus, seats in the form of a half moon.
3.- Travis says that they are not allowed to step out of the path, otherwise, a single and insignificant change in the past could result in catastrophic changes in the future, with only killing the smallest animal they could disappear everything in the future. They need to shoot the dinosaur first in the eyes to blind it and finally shoot it in one of their two brains, in the head or in the column. They need to shoot animals which will die soon because in that way they are not changing anything in the future since the animals will going to die anyway.
4.- Great oiled, resilient, striding legs. Thirty feet above the trees, a great evil god, reptilian chest, a thousand pounds of white bone, pebbled skin, each tight was a ton of meat, ivory and steel mesh.

5.- Eckels suddenly feels helpless to kill the animal and Travis orders him to go back to the machine. The other hunters and Travis started to shoot at the animal because it lunged forward them, a fount of blood spurted from its throat, and a sac of fluid burst. A thunder faded, and the animal was death. Travis is very angry and he asks Eckels to go and
