I think eckles was being a total b!+(#.He paid ten thousand dollars to kill a dinosaur. If dinos are killed in the futue why would he need to kill another. Nobody I know would do that. That is just plain stupid.D.byrd
ReplyDeleteThe way I think of Eckles is that he has a alot of mouth but he cant back it up. He type Of person that thinks he know it all, and thinks he always right. Why Would he not stay on the path like travis said. And I know alot of ppl like him #SMHHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteMy opinion of Eckels is annoying he ask too many questions and he did not think before making his actions. I feel this way about him because when reading the story i found him to be a little too open and he aslomakes things harder than it has to be. In real life I do know someone who ask a series of questions all the time and he/she does NOT think before they act.

I think that Eckles has alot of mouth but cant back it up.He paid 10,000 to kill a dinosaur.Then when it was time to kill it he was scared.At least you could have shot at it.After it was dead he tried to go back to be normal but it didn't work.

I think that Eckles have no considerations for anything. Like he doesn't care at all. I say this because hes taking a dinosaur life and also paid for it when that money could be for something else important. I know maybe 2 or 3 people that has no considerations for no one. And also do not think before there actions.

I think that Eckles talks to much and he is annoying.The reason why i said he talks to much because he kelp asking questions nd complaing about everything.I feel this way because all he was doing was asking questions and saying what people souldnt do.I know like 1 person in real life thats like that that talks to much and annoying like that.I just think he talks to much for no reason and ask to much questions for no reason.

I think that Eckles is one those type of people that brag and boast but when it comes down to the situation he backs out. He paid $10,000 dollars to kill a dinosaur but when it was his time to do so he folded. I actually do know some people like him personally. It's the worst type of person so surround yourself around. I knew Eckles would've done so just by the way he was talking.

The type of person Eckles is to me is a person with the most bark and no bite. He wanted to show boat the money that he used to go back in time to kill a dinosaur. When he actually gets the chance to kill one, he acts scared about the whole situation. On top of that, when he gets back into his time zone, he realizes that he messed up the future by going into the past. To me, he wasted a whole lot of money for nothing. He shouldn't have went in the first place.

I think that Eckles did way too much.Honestly by his actions in the past he messed up parts of the future.He's the type that tries to make it seem like he's the opposite of what he is deep down.He also wasted 10,000 for nothing. The entire trip shouldn't been done.

In my opinion eckles was very cocky , inogrant but determined. In the beginning he talk alot he but then a new experience changed his whole idea. It's safe to say that he is cocky and had a lot of mouth but also he is determined. He was very determined to complete the assignment, I believe that because it was a new setting he didnt respond well. This whole trip should be a lesson learned for eckles ........Taylor Dudley
