  human alive can escape the snare of their deepest
  flaw utter selfishness. In Arthur Miller's play,
  The Crucible, he introduces characters sweltering
  and bubbling with greed. He invites his audience
  to bear witness as his characters blindly enslave
  themselves to materialism. He shows the world how

Example Conclusion Paragraph
  Miller uses these sad characters to give
todays society a glimpse into a world of selfish
destruction. This is a world in which material

their charred soul and a school-girl crush can
morph into a killing spree. Perhaps after
witnessing this world Millers audience will seek
to change their own selfish world.

Bradbury's character Eckles in "Sound of Thunder"
demonstrates the consequences of breaking
nature's laws.
Also, Eckles breaks the protective rules that the
time travelers were told to follow.
To begin with, Eckles disregards the laws of time
by traveling in reverse.
In the end, Bradbury reveals the harsh reality of
breaking nature's laws.
He greedily pays money to exist before Christ,
Moses, and the Egyptian pyramids so he can kill a
mighty dinosaur (73).
After he sees the T. Rex coming toward him,
Eckles panics and "walks blindly to the edge of
the Path and steps off" even though Travis had
warned never to leave the path (78).
Once the safari guide realizes how Eckles has
changed everything he "shifts his rifle,
clicks the safety catch, and raises the
weapon to destroy Eckles (81).
Instead of finding sport and entertainment in
his own time he selfishly skips back to an
ancient age causing unnecessary harm to the
future world.
This one false step kills an innocent butterfly,
which sets in motion a chain of events that
change the delicate balance of nature and the
history of mankind.
Since the damage is irreversible Travis can only
find justice in taking Eckles life as a payment
for the lost world.

While Bradbury's abrupt ending predicts the
deadly results of tampering with nature, tther
futuristic short stories warn about different
dangers.

Color-Coded Body Paragraph

• Bradbury's character Eckles in "Sound of
  Thunder" demonstrates the consequences of
  breaking nature's laws. To begin with, Eckles
  seeks to travel back in time where he does not
  belong. He greedily pays money to exist before
  Jesus, Moses, and the Egyptian pyramids so he can
  kill a mighty dinosaur. Instead of finding sport
  and entertainment in his own time he selfishly
  skips back to an ancient age causing unnecessary
  harm to the future world. Also, Eckles breaks
  the protective rules that the time travelers were
  told to follow. After he sees the T. Rex coming
  toward them, he panics and "steps off the path to
  make his way back to the time machine" (33).
  This one false step kills an innocent butterfly,
  which sets in motion a chain of events that
  change the delicate balance of nature and the
  history of mankind. In the end, Bradbury reveals
  the harsh reality of breaking natures laws. Once
  the safari guide realizes how Eckles has changed
  everything he "raises his gun and points it at
  Eckles (42). Since the damage is irreversible
  Travis can only find justice in taking Eckles
  life as a payment for the lost world. While
  Bradbury's abrupt ending predicts the deadly
  results of tampering with nature, other
  futuristic short stories warn about different
  dangers.
