Sometimes, when transferring text to audio, or vice-versa, things can be changed. This is shown many times in Ray Bradbury’s Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed. Both versions tell the same story, but they use techniques specific to their mediums. In case you haven’t read it, a summary- The Bittering family- Harry, Cora, and their three children Dan, Laura, and David- has arrived on Mars as part of a new 800-person settlement. Coming from Boston, they have moved to Mars in order to avoid the foreseen destruction from the war that is being waged on Earth. While they were all skeptically optimistic about their new life on Mars, they took comfort in the fact that they could always buy a return ticket home at any time. But soon after their arrival, they are no longer able to rely on this option. Laura runs home one day to tell them that a bomb hit New York and all of the rockets were blown up. The family is stranded on Mars forever. Devastated, Harry decides to rededicate himself to his plot of land. As he was working in his garden, he begins to notice that things are the "same, but different," such as the peach blossoms, carrots, radishes, and other produce planted in his garden. Harry begins to panic that Mars is changing him and his belongings, even his family, whose skin is turning darker, and eyes turning golden. It's a fascinating story, and I would most definitely recommend it. This essay shall demonstrate the differences of the written piece compared to the auditory

The Bittering family from the story “Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed” by “Ray Bradbury” and the radio play of “Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed” by “Michael McDonough” close to the beginning of both the radio play and the story. In the story it Harry says, “Let’s get back on the rocket.” And in the radio play Harry says, “ Let’s get back on the rocket and go back tonight” The Bittering family should of stuck with Harry’s idea of going back to earth, because Harry knew something was wrong, right when everyone from Earth had gotten to the planet Mars.

In the story Dark They Were And Golden Eyed, by Ray Bradbury, a great story that he develops themes of fear, change and symbol and label. The author uses techniques of similes, metaphors and personification that explain and convey them to the reader very powerfully.

Ray Bradbury has greatly contributed to the world of literature and also changed the mindsets of thousands of readers. Ray Bradbury is so unique and outstanding as an author because of his use of many allusions while other authors use few to no allusions in their writing. There are deeper meanings throughout his book than just a warning for our future. An example of these allusions is one of many from The Bible about the lilies of the field from Matthew 6:28. Bradbury chose this allusion to tie in the meaning of the verse and implicate it in the scene where the allusion takes place, to show the importance and relevance of The Bible in one’s life, and to show how one can relate to Montag and apply the meaning of lilies of the field as a reminder

Both writers approach the topic of the Santa Ana winds very differently, although they both wish to inform different people about the effects of the winds. Each author has a different point of view and purpose than the other. Didion wanted to write

As the saying goes history repeats itself. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, might be fictional, but it also shows some factors from history, for example; the Holocaust. The book Night by Elie Wiesel, shares insight on how the Holocaust affected the people. Although these two books are completely different, the perfect society and the Holocaust are the same. Because they have similar characteristics in how the events happened.

Ray Bradbury and Edgar Poe both have somewhat similar writing styles. They both write in mysterious ways, and give a lot of foreshadowing. They also seem to enjoy writing about tragedies that happen both in the background and upfront. They both elaborate very specifically about how the scene is played out. They both have a similar conflict between possessions and desires. This is seen in both their writing and their backgrounds. Poe and Bradbury both seem to enjoy their writing and love to express what is happening in their lives into their writing. This can be seen when Bradbury writes the short story There will Come Soft Rains, where he is battling his emotions about technology. With Poe, this can be seen in A Tell Tale Heart, where he

In the “Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed,” a Science-Fiction short-story written by Ray Bradbury, it interprets that valuable materials should not be used to explore the depths of space at the cost of losing personal identity. A statement that supports this is, “‘ Autumn would be best,’ he thought. ‘Plenty of time then,’ No! Cried part of himself, deep, down, put away, locked tight, suffocating. No! No!” (Page 137) This shows that even though space exploration may provide a place to live, it comes at a large cost. Another quote that supports this topic is, “Laura, Dan, and David carried packages. Or, as they preferred to be known, Ttil, Linnl, and Werr carried packages.” (Page 138) This also supports the idea of space travel will risk our identity;

The way the authors structure the text create tension and surprise in the stories. In “The Lottery”, Jackson structures the story by ending the story in a climax, which helps the readers predict what the feelings of the characters in the village were about without revealing the reason. In “The Lottery”, it says “The crowd was quiet. A girl whispered, ‘I hope it's not Nancy,’ and the sound of the whisper reached the edges of the crowd.” The girl was worried, so it is foreshadowed that the drawing that they were doing was a bad thing. In “A Sound of Thunder”, Bradbury structures the story by ending the story in a climax, which shows Eckel’s mistakes leading up to the end of the story. In “A Sound of Thunder”, it says “Beyond this room, beyond this wall, beyond this man who was not quite the same man seated at this desk that was not quite the same desk…lay an entire world of streets and people.” The objects were changed when Eckels came back to the future, so he made mistakes and didn’t follow directions when told to stay on the path and not to touch anything. Similarly, both stories end off with a climax, so the foreshadowing is higher and the details revealed in the story happens toward the end.

Imagine if a person could actually prophesize the future. Try to imagine what the future will hold as individuals, artificial intelligence, and world peace. Ray Bradbury was a poet and writer of idealistic futuristic scenarios and horror. Although he did not want to be classified as a Science Fiction writer, he was exactly that in the eyes of his readers and critics. Ray Bradbury wrote two short stories composed of his ideals of the future: “There Will Come Soft Rains” and “All Summer in a Day. “ Both of these two short stories show a futuristic outlook on life for humans and humanity; although the concepts are expressed differently. “There Will Come Soft Rains” shows the fate of the human race and the end of humanity. Bradbury describes

Science fiction is a type of genre that has to do with stories set in the future and technology that is more advanced than our society today. Ray Bradbury is the prominent author of “The Sound of Thunder”, and “The Pedestrian”. In 1953, he wrote the well-known science fiction novel Fahrenheit 451 which is one of Bradbury’s most famous works. “The Pedestrian" sets place in the year 2053 where a man named Leonard Mead goes on walks alone. Whenever Leonard goes on his walks, he never sees anyone else outside because everyone’s too busy watching TV. In “ The Sound of Thunder” a hunter named Eckels goes to a time machine company that has hunters go back in time to hunt dinosaurs. In “The Pedestrian” and “The Sound of Thunder” there are similar and different aspects of the two stories like the intriguing characters, principles of science, and their futuristic settings.

Bradbury uses foreshadowing when Eckels gets shaky and frightened by the tyrannosaurus rex’s appearance. He doubted he could kill the creature and did not want to attempt the hunt. One of the safari leaders told him to go to the machine. This foreshadows the butterfly effect because when someone is in a panic, they tend to not be able to think straight. Eckles began swaying from side to side and stepping off the path in a complete daze. We know something dab is bound to happen with him not paying attention to his surroundings.
