Why do you suppose Mercutio tell such a fantastic story to Romeo?

He tells Romeo this story to calm him down. Mercutio and Romeo are good friends because of this he feels bad that Romeo is worried about attending the Capulet's party. Since Romeo had a dream about the party Mercutio told him the story about how dreams aren't really worth paying any attention to

Hope this helped! ♥♥

my guy how are we supposed to know

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
