From the beginning of the story we see the abuse of technology as the table cuts Peter’s meat for him‚ it a chain of causality‚ letting the fully automated house do everything‚ destroying their family bond. So broken that technology took the parenting role as it was the one providing‚ comforting and teaching. The story gives no specific year but it’s evident that it’s in the future. I think the lack of info on the time gives us the feeling that it’s talking about present day with society being so

The characterization of the characters in All Summer in A Day helps show the flaws in human nature by the way Bradbury makes the children so quick to disagree with Margot. One example is when Bradbury is describing Margot’s appearance. Margot was a “very frail girl” who appeared as though she was left in the rain and it had “washed out the blue from her eyes” and “the yellow from her hair”(Bradbury pg. 2).

As they are relying on this technology‚ the parents are slowly beginning to lose their purpose as a parental

If books had to be burned... Imagine a world where books had to be burned‚ but people memorized them to preserve those books. That’s what happened in Fahrenheit 451. A history book should be preserved because we can inform people about the past‚ it would help prevent bad events from happening again‚ and let us know what events shaped the world we live in. A history book should be preserved because that way people can learn about the past. If people could learn about the past‚ they could understand
