How does Crichton draw on the story "A Sound of Thunder" in this scene?

Sound of thunder focuses on how small things in our life can make a big difference in our lives.

Explanation:

A sound of thunder is a story which is based on time travel. This is a short story which was written by Ray Bradbury. This story is a cautionary tale ans is one of the most entertaining stories written which makes people think about a lot of things in it.

The main theme and message of this story is that it shows that things which we might consider to be small in our life might make a very big and major decisions in our lives that we might have not even thought of.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).

happy new year to yo!
