Multiple Choice Q: Which sentence from “A Sound of Thunder” uses diction to set the mood? A: “The jungle was wide and full of twitterings, rustlings, murmurs, and sighs.”

Constructed Response How does Ray Bradbury’s manipulate the setting to add to the mood of the story? Make sure that you identify the setting & the mood at the beginning, the middle, and the end. How do those settings take a part in enforcing the moods?

Constructed Response Answer The setting changes in subtle ways: faint smells, colors slightly wrong, words spelled strangely all contribute to the mood. At the beginning of the story, 2055, Eckles is leaving America to go back in time to hunt dinosaurs. In the safari office the mood is anxious, but at the same time excited. Once Eckles & his group reaches 55 million years ago, the mood changes. Upon seeing the T-Rex, Eckles cowers reflecting the frantic mood. At the end, Eckles gets back to 2055 where the setting has changed slightly giving the reader an uneasy mood. When Eckles sees the dead butterfly, the mood drastically changes to one of desolation & hopelessness. Every aspect of this setting evokes the mood of this short story.
