14. Which event shows how Eckel's character developed over the course of the story?
A. the moments after he first sees the Tyrannosaurus rex
B. his sensing of the changing upon his return to the present day**
C. when he ends up standing in the jungle
D. his time machine ride back to the present day
THE ANSWER IS B
HOPE THIS HELP!!:)
Okay, thanks anyways
i thought it would be A. “The moment after he first sees the Tyrannosaurus”
It’s because AFTER he sees the tyrannosaurus the ideas and thoughts changes. When this moment happens, fear and disbelief comes for Eckel. When Travis takes him home he finally noticed what he had done was wrong.
Idk I could be wrong or right, let me know.
It’s not A
To check your answer, we need to analyze each event and determine how it demonstrates Eckel's character development over the course of the story.
A. The moments after he first sees the Tyrannosaurus rex: This event showcases Eckel's initial fear and awe when he encounters the dinosaur. However, it doesn't necessarily show his character development over time.
B. His sensing of the changes upon his return to the present day: This event suggests Eckel's growing awareness of the alterations in the world upon his return from the time machine. It implies that he has developed a deeper sense of observation and understanding about the consequences of his actions.
C. When he ends up standing in the jungle: Without further context, it's unclear how this event demonstrates Eckel's character development. More information is needed to evaluate its significance.
D. His time machine ride back to the present day: This event, similar to option B, implies Eckel's changing perception of the present day and his own role in altering the past. However, it doesn't necessarily reveal the specific ways his character has developed over time.
Based on this analysis, it appears that option B ("his sensing of the changes upon his return to the present day") aligns best with the idea of Eckel's character development throughout the story. However, without additional details about the story, it is difficult to be certain. Please provide more information for a more accurate evaluation.
Anyone else?
In general, during a character-change story, the climax is usually when the main character realizes something major -- or his/her reaction to an event isn't the way s/he would have reacted at the beginning of the story.
In other words, the climax of the story. Study this, and see if it helps:
