2. How would you describe Eckels?
Eckels decided to go on the safari to hunt larger game and he thought it might be a challnge. At first, the encounter with the T-Rex he was nervous, then he began to freak out and have a panic attack. I think that he wasn't to bright of a person and that he was a coward.
4. I think that in the overall theme in this story is that even the most insignificant actions can have a huge repurcussion in the future. As far as time travel goes, I think the author is trying to portray that tampering with the past is dangerous. The other main theme is that one person has the ability to change the future, therefore men should not tamper with nature in the past.
