It's funny: even though Christopher's the one who moved far away, I still see him more than I see Zachary and Alex. They have all these new friends now. If we bump into each other on the street, they're still nice to me, though. They always say hello.

A. Words and Actions

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from Wonder, a children's book written by Raquel Jaramillo, also known as R. J. Palacio.

In the excerpt, the author describes August's relationship with Zachary and Alex. Their feelings toward August are first explained through their actions- they do not see August quite often (August claims that he sees Christopher more, although he moved far away), and they have made new friends. However, the author explains that they are still nice to August, as they always say 'hello' when they see him. The author, therefore, reveals the words that Zachary and Alex use, in order to explain their feelings for August.

explanation:

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
