What is sound? Sound is a wave‚ a pattern—simple or complex‚ depending on the sound—of changing air pressure. Sound is produced by vibrations of objects. The vibrations push and pull on air molecules. The pushes cause a local compression of the air (increase in pressure)‚ and the pulls cause a local rarefaction of the air (decrease in pressure).

Released in 1966‚ the song exposes man’s inability to connect with other humans. Similarly‚ Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind‚” written in 1973‚ is a

In the short story “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury‚ the author employs imagery to characterize the t-rex as immense and nauseating to put a fearful sensation in the readers.
