The House In Ray Bradbury's There Will Come Soft Rain
3. The house in Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” is an automated house that it programmed to do everything a human can do. The house can cook, clean and It can even mow the lawn. It is an automated machine that keeps running even though nobody lives there. If I was given the chance to live in the house, I would not want to live there, I would rather do things for myself. Having an automated machine that does everything for you can be nice and all but personally, if everything is done for me I would have nothing to do and I would become lazier and lazier every day. Having things done for me would also make me feel bad about myself. It would make me feel useless because if I don’t do any basic chores I would lose all common traits that

    Ship-Trap Island In Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game

    For instance, the nursery was installed to prevent or repel harmful thoughts; however, Peter and Wendy use the nursery in a destructive way that led to the death of their parents. Another example is the abundance of technological assistance with everyday tasks. The children live in a world where everything is done for them. They never learned to tie their own shoes or even brush their own teeth. These skills have become unnecessary because they have machines to do these things for them. The biggest issue is how the parents, George and Lydia, have let machinery become the caregivers to their children. They do not help their children or teach them. They have let machines take over their jobs. As a result, Peter and Wendy think of the machines as their parents and their real parents as an insignificant waste of space. "You've let this room and this house replace you and your wife in your children's affections," says psychologist David McClean. "This room is their mother and father, far more important than their real parents" (Bradbury, 8). These are the reasons that "The Veldt" is much more dangerous.…

    4. A Ghost town is a desolate place. A ghost town is sad for multiple reasons. One reason is there is nobody there, its lonely. At one point that town was new, and now it’s nothing. If you were in a ghost town there would be no food, no water, and no new clothes. Nobody could survive in a ghost town. You’d be starving, you’d be dehydrated, you’d be dirty, and you’d be tired.

    Everyday Use Questions

    Everyday Use Questions Question A: I can infer that Maggie has been the child that has always taken the guilt for everything and has never really been rewarded because Dee has always been the rewarded child. I think that Maggie is treated and thought of this way because of of how the book states that Maggie is always ashamed and stands helplessly in corners of their home. I also conclude this statement because of the point of fact that the book says that Maggie envies and is in awe when she looks at Dee. The final reason why I have concluded my points about Maggie and Dee above is because the book says that Dee has been the child that has basically never been told that she couldn’t do something that she wanted to do. The end of the story proves…

    Theme Of Stuff In Fahrenheit 451

    (SIP-A) Mildred has been so obsessed with all her electronics that she has developed a non communication relationship with Montag. (STEWE-1)” ’Will you turn the parlor off?’ he asked. ‘That's my family.’ ‘Will you turn it off for a sick man?’ ‘I'll turn it down’ “ (46). Mildred yet again shows the consequences of focusing on almost only electronics. She is so addicted that she refuses to turn the parlor off even though Montag is sick. She even refers to the parlor walls as her ‘family’, even though they are not real, and her real family is right in front of her. (STEWE-2) Mildred's addiction has gotten so bad that her mind is so full of stuff that she doesn't remember important events in her life. “ ‘When did we meet? And where?’... ‘I don't know,’ she said “ (40). Mildred has been so caught up in all this fake “stuff” that it has caused her to not really care about her relationship with Montag. (STEWE-3) Mildred and Montag have lost connection because they have been only caring about materials and not each other. ” ‘I can't talk to my wife; she listens to the walls’ “ (78). Mildred yet again shows that she only cares about what is NOT important in life, instead of having a strong relationship with Montag. (SIP-B) Other people in the society don't have strong relationships because they are not focused on each other and they don't truly care about each other. (STEWE-1) Mrs. Phelps’ relationship with her husband shows that they don't really have a strong bond with each other.” ‘He said, if I get killed off, you just go right ahead and don't cry, but get married again, and don't think of me’ “ (91). To these people, marriage is like a game and they treat each other like objects. No sane person would not mourn a lost loved one unless they are focused on all the fake “stuff” instead of building a stronger relationship. (STEWE-2) They don't even care about their own children…

    These many poems that we read in the class all contain different themes in each poem. Both Wilfred Owen’s and Sara Teasdale’s poem holds a theme of their own. We as a class read two Wilfred Owen poems, “Dulce et Decorum Est,” and “Anthem for Doomed Youth,” and one named “There will come Soft Rains,” by Sara Teasdale. All these poems that we read have different themes and many could say that there is no similarity in between them.…

    Farm Girl

    Farm Girl

    Jessica writes about her life starting as a young girl at the age of ten who is responsible for a lot more work than many average ten-year-old. Hermauer wrote this essay to share her experience about working on her family’s farm, and how being brought up with chores and responsibilities made her successful in managing her time and being involved in her student body. Different audiences could relate to her age, social experiences and responsibilities. For example, someone who’s familiar with the duties of farm life might find the purpose of the essay to be about how farm life teaches you the importance of responsibilities you have to take care of farm. The daily authority and struggles that Jessica goes through as growing young women represents ethos in many ways. By working long hard hours completing many chores this switched her to a strong girl that brought her to a succeeded student and young women.” My eyes are heavy with sleep and struggle to open “. Jessica explains how they didn’t want to wake up so early to go to farm, however they had to wake up to help their farther, and how their father shouted like Wake up!!! “As soon as we open the door to the basement, we can smell the putrid aroma of cows that has seeped from our clothing into the damp cool air.” After when we go to breakfast “The delicious smell of smoked bacon and cheese omelets grows more intense with each step.” I love bacon and omelets, and I can just imagine how good that would smell and taste after working as hard as she did on the farm. Jessica makes farm life seem like it would really suck when she talks about how she could never play sports or join clubs and that would make her audience feel sorry for her. But then, she writes about the day that her father called a meeting and said that he would no longer need her help on the farm and she could do whatever she wanted. Turns out, that crappy farm life she had ended up helping her out a lot in the long run. She does a great job of wrapping…
