ReplyDeleteI think that Eckles is a very suspicious and paranoid person. The way he was worried more of everything but the situation sitting in front of him gave me the impression that he was way too paranoid. The suspicion opinion comes when he had guilty written on his face. I do believe I know a few people that may be like Eckles. I sometimes act like Eckles, depending on the situation I'm in.

ReplyDeleteI think that MR Eckles is a stubborn and suspicious person. i say he is stubborn because Travis keep telling to kill only the lizard tyrant they said but he just wanted to kill any one and he did not have to step off the path but he did, and i also say suspicious because he went to hunt one of the most dangerous animals in the world and even thou they told hi they not responsible for his death and he still went to hunt the lizard tyrant.

ReplyDeleteI think mr.Eckles is a annoying person.during the story he asked Like one billion questions. Why would you go back in time and pay ten thousand dollars to kill a dinosaur and in the future there extinct. Also he was real paranoid and was trying to kill anyone he's a very crazy man like you Mr.Meehan.

ReplyDeleteI think Eckles is one annoying person. During the story he just wouldnt shut up for nothing. He payed all that money to chicken out when it comes time to shoot the dinosaur. Sadly , I know too many people like Eckles. Sometime you want to smack them and you cant. If I ever seen Eckels I would most likely call him a name and smack him. Just Saying .
I think Eckles was kind of being annoying most of the story. Through the whole story all he wanted to do was kill dinsaurs. He went all the way ack in time just to kill some dinsaurs you know he dont have no life. I acutally do know somebody like this man in real life. I think this person is crazy and annoying too.

ReplyDeleteI think Eckles is a very annoying person. He kept asking questions about things that the safari leader had already made very clear. He paid 10 thousand dollars just to go back in time to kill a dinasour and, When it came down to actually killing the dinasour he was scared. I know someone like Eckles. She acts just like him and is annoying just like him also.

ReplyDeleteMy opinion of Eckles is he's a very questionable person. He asked stuff that was explained to him several times.Eckles made himself believe that he was ready for such a task he couldn't handle. Wasting money on something that is expensive and once in a lifetime makes him seem unsure of what he wants.Yes, unfortunately I do know someone like Eckles.
I think eckles is a irritating person. He asked a lot of questions back to back. Also he's impatient. He was in a rush and acted like he couldn't wait for the other people. He remind me of my mom. If we go to the store and we both looking at something I would still be looking at it and she'll tell me to "come on". Then she'll ask me a lot of questions that I have no clue to what the answer is.

ReplyDeleteI think eckles was annoying. He had something to say about everything. He was kind of a paranoid type of person.He thought he was this brave hunter.He was scared this whole time. That's what I think.

ReplyDeleteI personally think Eckles is a curious and over excited person. I say this because like any smart person who was in his position he was in they would ask lots of questions. But, Exckles is also over excited because when the scavengers seen the big reptile he was loud almost causing everyone to get attacked. Yes, my aunt is very curious she ask question about everything nothing gets past her. But there is nothing wrong with being a little curious at times. Lastly I am an over excited person. I get excited ouer anything that is positive!
My opinion on the eckels.Is that is he real annoying and irritateing.Because is acts like every thing is not normal.He gets in people way of doing things.Yes I Know Sombody like him is mi annoying little sister.
