I mostly agree that the monster is terrifying and therefore Eckels is right ot panic. The writer effectively portrays the Tyrannosaurus Rex as invinsible by describing Eckel's dialogue of "can't be killed" as "as if there could be no argument". The word "can't" suggests Eckels's certainty that it is impossible to kill the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Therefore, this implies Eckels is right to panic as he thinks it can never be killed so he will eventually be eaten by it as he can be killed. Furthermore, the writer skilfully portrays Eckels as weak and almost comical compared to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. They describe the "rifle" in his hands as "like a toy gun". The noun "rifle" is meant to be powerful, large, and dangerous. However, this simile emphasises how invincible and undefeatable the Tyrannosaurus Rex is as the "rifle" becomes like a "toy gun". The adjective "toy" connotes childish and fake, implying that Eckels's "rifle" cannot harm the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The juxtaposition of Eckels's "toy gun" and the "Monster" highlights how terrifying the Tyrannosaurus Rex is and therefore Eckels is right to panic. Moreover, the writer successcully portrays Eckels as an experienced adventurer yet panics because of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. We learn that Eckels has "never" experienced something like this before, and he "had good guides, good safaris, and safety". The quantifier "never" emphasises how the Tyrannosaurus Rex is much more terrifying than any other creatures he has met. The adjective "good" implies that he was well-prepared and thereofre we understand that even being well-prepared is not enough to defeat the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Hoever, we wonder why he is panicking even though he is well-prepeared and therefore suggests he is wrong to panic and should instead follow his "guides" calmly. ALternatively, perhaps he is not well-prepared enough to defeat the Tyrannosaurus Rex and therefore it is his fault that he is panicking now. Additionally, the writer portrays Lesperance as calm in order to contrast to Eckels. They describe Lesperance telling Eckels to "Trun around. Hide in the Machine." The use of imperative verbs "turn" and "hide" implies that Lesperance is in control of the situation and knows exactly what they should be doing. Thsi juxtaposes with Eckel's "helpnesses" and therefore suggests that Eckels is wrong to panic as he panics instead of thinking rationally like Lesperance. The use of short sentences further implies that his certainty about what they should do and juxtaposes the use of long dialogue when describing Eckels. The long dialogue of Eckels may reflect his complex emotion of panic. The writer may havev done this to highlight Eckel's stupidity and irrational behaviour to suggests tha the is wrong to panic by juxtaposing him to the rational Lesperance. Also, the writer successfully portrays the Tyrannosaurus Rex as life-threatening by descrbing it as covering "one hundred yards" in "six seconds". This hyperbole emphasises how fast it moves and therefore implies it is terrifying because it is impossible for humans like Eckels to move so fast and therefore suggests it is impossible for Eckels to escape from it. This justifies that he is right to panic. Additionally, the use of sibilance with "six seconds" creates a sinister tone. This implies that it will eventually kill Eckels and therefore highlights how terrifying it is and justifies that Eckels is right to panic. However, the writer effectively portrays Eckels as stupid and ridiculous by describing the "Tyrannosaurus fell" at the end which contradicts to Eckels's earlier comment that "it can't be killed". This suggests that perhaps the Tyrannosaurus Rex is not as terrifying as Eckels has described. We also understand Eckels's stupidity as what he said is proved to be false, and therefore he may be wrong to panic as his fear is solely caused by his stupidity.
