Sound of Thuhder Imagery

sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film of sliding warm water. Eckels felt his eyelids blink over his stare, and the sign burned in this momentary darkness:

Eckels glanced across the vast office at a mass and tangle, a snaking and humming of wires and steel boxes, at an aurora that flickered now orange, now silver, now blue. There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame.

Eckels swayed on the padded seat, his face pale, his jaw stiff. He felt the trembling in his arms and he looked down and found his hands tight on the new rifle. There were four other men in the Machine. Travis, the Safari Leader, his assistant, Lesperance, and two other hunters, Billings and Kramer. They sat looking at each other, and the years blazed around them.

A sound of thunder.

The Monster, at the first motion, lunged forward with a terrible scream. It covered one hundred yards in six seconds. The rifles jerked up and blazed fire. A windstorm from the beast's mouth engulfed them in the stench of slime and old blood. The Monster roared, teeth glittering with sun.

The rifles cracked again, Their sound was lost in shriek and lizard thunder. The great level of the reptile's tail swung up, lashed sideways. Trees exploded in clouds of leaf and branch. The Monster twitched its jeweler's hands down to fondle at the men, to twist them in half, to crush them like berries, to cram them into its teeth and its screaming throat. Its boulderstone eyes leveled with the men. They saw themselves mirrored. They fired at the metallic eyelids and the blazing black iris,

2.-Foreshadowing is an advance sign or warning of what is to come in the future. The author of a mystery novel might use foreshadowing in the early chapter of his book to give readers an inkling of an impending murder.

One of the foreshadowing is when the landlady gave Billy a cup of tea that had smell of burnt almond, this suggested the landlady was up to no good because some almond that are raw works just as well as poison.

3.Inferring is to conclude something with evidence, foreshadowing is to give a little hint as to what will happen next in a story. They both suggest something that can explain the story, but in different ways and where about in the story. The smell

4.The smell of burnt almond can be poisonous enough to kill someone, this suggests the landlady wanted Billy to be dead for some reason.

Answer the following in paragraph form

5.There is a lot of imagery in the short story. Like when Billy went past the landladys house, he saw the words"BED AND BREAKFAST" and the words seemed like it was a pair of dark, 
black eyes starring at him, forcing home to go in the room.

6.The Landlady wanted to kill Billy from the start of the story, when she only mentions the skin and how young they are. The burnt almond suggests the Landlady wanted to poison the Billy to stuff him with cotton and kill him.

7.I like the ending of the short story because it makes you think what might happen, so you don't have to end the same way as someone else. This is a really successful ending because it is really obvious that what will happen next but the story ends suddenly to make you think.
