question
Genre of "A Sound of Thunder"

Science fiction, short story
question
Elements of Science Fiction in "A Sound of Thunder"
answer
Time travel, technology innovation, catastrophe (manmade), set in the future
question
Point-of-view in "A Sound of Thunder"

question
Characterization of Eckels
answer
Has a lack of concern about how his actions impact others, not very intelligent, hasty, a hunter, a bit of a coward, a bit arrogant (reminds us with the arrogance about hunting of the general a little bit). Selfish. A rather unsympathetic character who doesn't seem to regret the impact he has (makes excuses, doesn't take responsibility for his actions)
question
Foreshadowing in "A Sound of Thunder"
answer
