What effect does the phrase “ sight” in stanza 2 have on the poem? it conveys the speaker's feeling of powerlessness. it captures how difficult it is for the speaker to see. it expresses the pain felt by the victim of the gas attack. here is the stanza  gas! gas! quick boys! —an ecstasy of fumbling, fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, but someone still was yelling out and stumbling and floundering like a man in fire or lime — dim through the misty panes and thick green light, as under a green sea, i saw him drowning. in all my dreams, before my sight, he plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. it suggests that the soldier's suffering is the speaker's fault.

explanation:

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.
