18. Choose two of the other worlds described in the unit.

I'll be comparing the lives/stories of Walter and Eckel from "The secret life of Walter Mitty" & "Sound of Thunder"

At first glance, it seemed to me that the two individuals were very different. But I took side notes and here's the two main things I noticed...

Similar- They both have the lust for adventure. Which is one of the reasons I connected to the characters and plots (of the story). Anyhow, once Eckels finds what he's been seeking he realizes it's too much for him.

Different- One difference is that Walter never actually went on adventure, he just spent time fantasizing about it.

Walter's story is sort of like Disney's movie/film "Up" Ellie dreams of traveling to Paradise Falls (South Africa) but ended up getting caught up in life.

Hope this helps guysss :3

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The narrator in "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" express a desire to live in the future.  He says "the sooner the better" and "right now please" to emphasize his desire. He does not mistrust machines because he wants electronic deer and computers like flowers. Hope this answers the question.
