    There Will Come Soft Rains has a post-apocalyptic - inspired by World War 1- and technological setting – a futuristic house. The house can be seen as somewhat of a ‘protector’ of the family and Bradbury uses lively descriptions for the setting ‘...books that talked, beds that warmed and made themselves, fires that built themselves in the fireplaces of evenings, were in the house and living there was a contentment.’ Bradbury has used this technique to show humans’ dependence on technology – the house does simple things like making a bed – and eventually how they were destroyed by their own technology. Further to this, the house can also be seen to be the master and the family its’ willing slaves. This shows how humans are becoming so dependent on technology that they are no longer able to perform simple tasks for…

    Young men who are sent to a war learn the reality in a very harsh and brutal way. Both the stories, ‘The Red Convertible’ and ‘The Things They Carried’ portray the life of a young soldier and how he psychologically gets affected from all the things he had seen in the war. Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried,’ is more specific on the experiences of a soldier during a war where as Karen Louise Erdrich focuses more on describing the post war traumatic stress in her short story ‘The Red Convertible’. One thing similar in both the narrations is the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers. From the background of both the authors it’s easy to conclude that Tim O’Brien being a war veteran emphasizes more on the war scenes where as Louise Erdrich focuses mainly on the life inside the reservations, which makes sense as she has a Native American ancestry.…

Re-reading the two stories and analyzing each of its characters with a magnifying lens to uncover the subtext, has led to the unbelievable conclusion that the Grandmother from “A Good Man Is Hard to Find’’ and Lizabeth…

    ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ made me feel absolutely devastated. Immersing me slowly in its melancholy world of rubbles, dust and ashes burning away in a nuclear war. Is by far the shortest, sharpest and most depressing short story that I have ever read. ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ is a snapshot that perfectly captures all of the social paranoias in society during the post war period of the 1950s. Rendering the beautiful and power mind of Ray Bradbury in a 4 page short story. Bradbury was at his absolute best when portraying the overwhelming sense of desolation and bleakness throughout the story. Like Ray Bradbury’s other short story ‘The Veldt’, ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ is a story that is able to teach yet another stingingly unforgettable lesson about technology that shines…

    In Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing,” and Claude McKay’s “America” the poets present a similar view of America, but they do so in a very different manor. While both show a love for America and focus on life in America, that is where their similarities end. Whitman’s view of America is up-beat and positive, focusing on the life of everyday people in America. McKay’s view of America is much more negative, and reveals the dark side of the American life. Each used various literary tools to portray their view of America.…
