1. The sound of thunder sounds like a shot fired from a gun , at the end of the story he fired a bullet which sounds like thunder.

2. I chose the 7th paragraph.
"So what?" Travis snorted quietly. "Well, what about the foxes that'll need those mice to survive? For want of ten mice, a fox dies. For want of ten foxes a lion starves. For want of a lion, all manner of insects, vultures, infinite billions of life forms are thrown into chaos and destruction. Eventually it all boils down to this: fifty-nine million years later, a caveman, one of a dozen on the entire world, goes hunting wild boar or saber-toothed tiger for food. But you, friend, have stepped on all the tigers in that region. By stepping on one single mouse. So the caveman starves. And the caveman, please note, is not just any expendable man, no! He is an entire future nation. From his loins would have sprung ten sons. From their loins one hundred sons, and thus onward to a civilization. Destroy this one man, and you destroy a race, a people, an entire history of life. It is comparable to slaying some of Adam's grandchildren. The stomp of your foot, on one mouse, could start an earthquake, the effects of which could shake our earth and destinies down through Time, to their very foundations. With the death of that one caveman, a billion others yet unborn are throttled in the womb. Perhaps Rome never rises on its seven hills. Perhaps Europe is forever a dark forest, and only Asia waxes healthy and teeming. Step on a mouse and you crush the Pyramids. Step on a mouse and you leave your print, like a Grand Canyon, across Eternity. Queen Elizabeth might never be born, Washington might not cross the Delaware, there might never be a United States at all. So be careful. Stay on the Path. Never step off!"

a)  "The stomp of your foot, on one mouse, could start an earthquake" -touch sense. Because he can touch the groundbto change a lot.
b)  "Step on a mouse and you crush the Pyramids." -Touch. you can touch the mouse and pyramids.
c)  "Perhaps Europe is forever a dark forest" -Sight. You can see how Europe was never changed.

3. a) Travis said they gurantee nothing, then later in the story he got shot.
    b) Eckels stepped on the ground , then when they came back to the present some things were changed , things like letters.
    c) If Eckeles wouldn't of taken the bullets out of the dino there might not of been a buterfly affect

.
    d)Travis dosent want Eckeles to kill any animals to make sure he wont change the future.
    

BONUS

An anaphora is a phrase or word thay is repeated through the story, in this case ir was "The sound if thunder"

"The machine roared" Comparing a machine to a vicious animal (lion or tiger maybe).

"The T-Rex shone like green coins"


The butterfly would be the symbol for the butterfly effect.
