Read the scenario of a formal discussion. Martin and Savannah are analyzing a poem. MARTIN: This poem is about hope. In the first line, the poet describes the rising sun as a "beacon of hope.” This imagery sets a positive mood to match the idea that the speaker is emerging from a time of struggle in his life.

SAVANNAH: I believe the poem has a darker theme. In line 6, the rising sun fades behind some thick, dark clouds. While I agree that the rising sun does symbolize hope, that hope quickly fades.

MARTIN: Yes, the sun does fade, but a glimpse of the sun was enough to spark new hope in the speaker. Line 7 explains how the speaker emerges from his house to venture out into the world again. He is doing this despite the sun fading behind the clouds.

He summarizes the point of disagreement.
He refutes her argument with sound evidence.
He highlights the common ground of their arguments.

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.
