Desiring to save time with a sequence of data he started the simulation in the middle of its course. To his surprise the weather that was predicted was completely different from the weather he had calculated before. He discovered the computer had rounded off the variables to a 3-digit number. This tiny difference should have had practically no effect.
Due to his studies on weather prediction Edward Lorenz later wrote a paper to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1972 entitled, Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado. In Texas, Lorenz surmised that a small change like the flapping of the wings of a butterfly could cause a chain of events leading to a large-scale phenomenon. If that one butterfly had not flapped his wings, the results might have been vastly different.

Griffin makes the argument that people’s lives our extremely intertwined with one another's and that many of our actions have unforeseen consequences, many of which we choose to ignore. The author’s audience appears to be any of the general public who seek to question the world around them. I find this writing particularly interesting because I have always been fascinated by the concept of the butterfly effect, and how the slightest action can have tremendous consequences.…

    Annie Dillard's "The Wreck of Time" is a unique piece of writing. The essay has no clear thesis statement, lacks transitions between paragraphs and provides no obvious connection between its various subsections. Upon first reading Dillard's piece, one might think that it's little more than a series of unrelated statistics and a series of unanswered questions. But by using this unique style, Dillard puts the focus and thinking in the hands of the reader. The reader is left to make sense of the statistics, fill in the gaps, and draw his or her own conclusions. There is a very important message Dillard tries to get across this way in “The Wreck of Time”. Through her use of rhetorical devices, Dillard exemplifies our view that the numbers are just numbers, and nothing more. However, after a few reads it becomes clear through constant questioning in the piece that these numbers should mean more to us than they do. Dillard is trying to show us that we do not have enough compassion for our fellow human beings. She shows us this through marked use of statistics, questions, comparisons, contrasts, and quotations from many sources.…
