Does this safari guarantee I come back alive?
The sound of thunder uses a great deal of foreshadowing.
TIME SAFARI, Foreshadowing is giving a small hint of what will happen later.

The title, wich is A Sound of Thunder, is a hidden foreshadowing, because the same word comes at the end. Does this safari guarantee I come back alive?" We guarantee nothing. Meaning somthing is going to happen in the story. He is going to die.

INC.SAFARIS TO ANY YEAR IN THE PAST.

YOU NAME THE ANIMAL

.WE TAKE YOU THERE

.YOU SHOOT IT.

Migrants in Calais

Daily express is  unsympathetic towards the migrant crisis and negative about the situation.
The paper uses words such a, swamped and other negative and sophisticated words that describe the migrant crisis.
The writer accuses of swamping an historical village. The daily express also thinks that it is very of them to dance in the night because they were suppose to be the heartrending image of traumatised refuges fleeing the horror of  their war-torn countries we might exept.
The Migrant crisis is a diaspora, or a victim diaspora
They might treat the migrants negatively because it will make a bad impression on them.
Swamping means submerged and drenched. The daily express does this because it and its audience are well educated, and care about the suffering of others. They are also from a place where immigration is understood and valued.
