The claim of a piece of writing is essentially the same as
its thesis. The thesis, as such, will
generally be presented in the first paragraph (if not the first few lines) of
the text. When we look at the article,
thus, the first paragraph mentions two things:
a gorilla named Little Joe (the hook/attention getter) and that zoos do
a good job at nurturing their animals.
Readers can be safe to assume that the article will cover how zoos do a
good job at nurturing because of how the last sentence within the introductory
paragraph begins with “But less well covered was the very real success…” As such, the claim of this piece is that zoos
succeed at nurturing the animals that live within their walls. Again, it’s important to remember how,
generally, the thesis turns out to be the claim.

Answer:We don’t know for sure. What we do know is that a group of hunters went back to prehistoric time with the Time Safari leaders to shoot and kill a Tyrannosaurus rex that would have been downed by a falling tree anyway. They have taken every precaution to make sure that any action they take in the past will not affect the future in any way. Hunters are told to stay on the path and to not touch anything. Unfortunately, Eckels is so traumatized by the sight and sound of the huge creature that he heads back to the safety of the time machine without paying any attention to what he is doing. When the group returns to the present day, they see that both life and language have changed. It turns out that Eckels accidentally stepped on and killed a butterfly. Group leader Travis is seething with fury. We read the lines that show that Travis readies his rifle for firing. Then the story ends aptly and abruptly with “a sound of thunder.” Travis killed someone, but who? Did he kill Eckels for his mistake? Or did he kill himself, so that he wouldn’t have to answer to authorities about the grave error, and so that Eckels would have to live with the responsibility of what he’d done?
