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

When I really paid attention to the music and the words being sung it told the whole movie. I also think that the fullness of the music also depicts something as well.
