I think, “Nethergrave” by Gloria Skurzynski represents a more accurate portrayal towards technology because the settings show that the way you other people describe themselves isn’t always true, and how you can easily give in to something that isn’t good for you. “A sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury gives me the thought that technology can be dangerous, although we don’t always see how. Both “The sound of Thunder and Nethergrave” are excellent Science fiction stories, to tell vital lessons in life. Both of stories are strong in relating emotions into familiar activities, such as school and meetings.
“The Sound of Thunder” fits into a science fiction genre, due to the fact that the characters go back into time; with the events that follow the whole world is changed when one little tiny thing is affected. Many of the things that happen in the story can be applied into real life, many of which you would not think about. The theme of the story is very realistic but futuristic at the same time; therefore, making it very complicated with real problems in the modern world but not having it appear that way. The story has a diamon effect when Eckles stepped on the butterfly it had changed everything in the world when they had returned. The exact quotes are “Not a little thing like that! Not a butterfly!” cried Eckels. “It fell to the floor, an exquisite thing, a small thing that could upset balances and knock down a line of small dominoes and then big dominoes and then gigantic dominoes, all down the years across Time.”
“Nethergrave” by Gloria Skurzynski is very realistic then takes a turn, in my opinion it is a very hard story to follow. It has shown that you cannot trust others while “A sound of Thunder” is telling you not to trust yourself in stressful situations. In Nethergrave it has Jeremy believing other people, when more times than not he is disappointed by the actual descriptions of his only friends. Once again this story sheds light on real problems in modern life. The story is in the science fiction genre because it has very futurist properties such as the advanced computer system, the advanced technology and how he has it all.
