Well I haven't read either of those but I have written critical response essays before. My advice would be: before you start writing, even if you have already read the essay/poems/whatever they are, read over them again to have them both fresh on your mind. While you are reading, think about your opinion on both of them. You can make an outline on a piece of paper/your computer of things you agree with and disagree with in each of them. Also, start making a summary of how they're alike and different. You need to have an introduction, that includes a thesis, and at least three body paragraphs unless your teacher told you differently. Then you need a concluding paragraph. The most important thing to remember is that you should argue your case for or against the selections you read and your opinions on them.

(Also, if you're good at math and probability, would you mind checking out my question? :) )

Critical Response Essay -

“A Sound of Thunder”

“Nethergrave”

"A Sound of Thunder" and "Nethergrave" theses two stories are two different but alike novellas. They are both science fiction and they are included with lots of adventure. These novellas are both good works of writing. Although I like both novellas I like "A Sound of Thunder" because it is more of a book that gets the point across to people and explains more about itself. Overall, A Sound of Thunder is a better example of writing and was more interesting.

The Nethergrave's plot is different from A Sound of Thunder for it is not as tragic and changing as A Sound of Thunder. The kid in here was lying to be cool to his friends and he was more interested in the Nethermagus. This was a big story plot in this novel because it was a big decision for him to stay with the Nethergrave forever. This story gives traits of science fiction for its technology, changing places, and the different powers that are demonstrated.

In A Sound of Thunder was about Eckel, travels from 2055 to 85 million years set back. They get in trouble, but hope to make it back to 2055 alive. When they were time traveling, bad things started to happen to their year 2055. Things were not the same. They were worse, This is an example of science fiction because of the plot, and the setting of the writing. They all include traits of science fiction. This time and setting of the story was involving unrealistic traits and unreal things in the story such as creatures and objects.

Although these stories have totally different plots, good parts such as strengths, and bad things in the story such as weaknesses. These books could both be compared and contrasted. These two novels show how technology can be very dangerous no matter what type of technology it might be. Yes, they might be science fiction stories but they can be compared to the future like today. This is because technology is getting more and more advanced everyday."Nethergrave" was more of a story to show you that when life gets hard don't jump to the first decision you see to make a bad decision that you will regret later in life. While "A Sound of Thunder" was more of a story that had a better plot and more characteristics that could be explained by the characters in the story.

While both stories were really well written, "A Sound of Thunder" is a more put-to-the point story and written a lot better than "Nethergrave". They are both about technology and really defined, but the story's and characters had two different mindsets. As supposed to them both are a reflection on how things can have such a big impact on your life even if it doesn't seem like it would. Things are always changing around us.

After doing research, write an outline for a paper about an american author of your choice. remember to organize your outline according to the degree of importance that each idea holds. from that outline, write an essay of at least 500 words. remember to check your essay for errors. include your outline above the actual essay. replace the heading with your own original title. credit your sources using a manual of style such as: the american psychological association, the chicago manual of style, or the modern language association. ask your teacher which format is preferable. the difference in these styles is in the order the material is presented in each entry and the punctuation required. most papers in high schools use the modern language association.
