I agree partially that the Monster is terrifying because it is presented as hostile. The writer describes how the T-rex "lunged forward with a terrible scream." The use of kinesthetic imagery with "lunged" emphasises the size of the T-rex as it doesn't even have to move fully, but simply lunge to kill the humans. This shows how quickly it can kill, suggesting that the humans stand no chance. This paints it as terrifying as it foreshadows the humans' imminent death. Furthermore, the adjective "terrible" suggests that the scream is loud and debilitating. It may also symbolise the beginning of the humans' doom as it suggests the T-rex is aware of the humans' location. Additionally, the writer describes the "stench of slime and old blood." The use of sibilance, compounded with plosives creates an image of death as the writer references that the T-rex has killed many before. Additionally, the sibilance creates a foreboding tone, further foreshadowing impending doom. The mixture of simple and complex sentences highlights the chaos of the situation. This suggests that the humans are not prepared, making the T-rex more terrifying as it is unpredictable. However, I only partially agree that Eckels was right to panic. The writer describes how the T-rex went to "twist them in half, to crush them like berries." The use of plosive 'th' sounds reflects the fatal crunch of humans and their deaths. This creates a powerful and grotesque image as the humans seem to stand no chance. This gives Eckels the right to panic as his assumptions that they stand no chance seem to be evidenced. However, the extract ends with how the "Tyrannosaurus fell." This suggests that Eckels was not right to panic as it affirms Travis' capability in leading the group to successfully kill the T-rex. Furthermore, it emphasises the T-rex's power by simply stating it "fell." This implies that Eckels only was panicking because of its large appearance, but in reality they were undoubtedly going to be able to kill it. Thus, he was not right to panic as it ruined the group's whole plan and made the hunting disorganized and chaotic.
