which proverbs most clearly reflects a major theme in a sound of thunder,

A fish rots from its head down
never put off tomorrow what you can do today
better to light a candle then to curse in the darkness***
in our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations
am I right?

It should but that's not the question...

that's just the straight question...

Yes, you are correct! The proverb "Better to light a candle than to curse in the darkness" most clearly reflects a major theme in the short story "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury. This proverb emphasizes the importance of taking action and making a positive difference, even in difficult or dark situations.

In the story, the characters travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs. However, one small action by a character, stepping off the designated path and killing a butterfly, leads to significant and unintended consequences in the present time. This event demonstrates how a small act, like lighting a candle, can have a significant impact on the future.

To arrive at this answer, you can start by reading the short story "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury and identifying the major themes discussed. Then, compare those themes to the provided proverbs and determine which one aligns most closely with the central ideas of the story.

Should a sound of thunder be capitalized? Is it a story, novel, poem?? Who is the author?
