that reflected in the way that Bradbury wrote. He is famous for his short story The

Occasionally it would appear to be that the mega-cities of mankind have taken over the small towns of yesteryear and that media has enslaved us. To the objective observer, this does not seem to match up with reality. In the case of Ray Bradbury, however, it’s a wholly different paradigm. In his work Beyond 1984: The People Machines, Bradbury attempts to sweet talk the audience into a blueprint for the future where small towns are rejuvenated and people are no longer slave to their television sets. He accomplishes this by primarily relying on pathetic rhetoric that targets the reader’s progressive emotions pertaining to the future. There are numerous examples of Bradbury’s rhetorical devices that could be discussed, but only certain exemplifications

Both men come across interesting characters to say the least. They were interested and curious when it came to these characters, and felt the need to investigate them, often leading to misfortune. Though this is not positive, it is a similarity.

When you think of fear, what do you think of? Do you think of something you are absolutely terrified of and do not want to think about or something else. Fear is programmed in your brain as something you want to stay away from for  safety.  Like when we touched a hot pan and burned ourselves now we will not do that again for fear of being burned. Mr.King states three claims that we go to horror movies to have fun and that we go to feel normal and the last one That we go to face our fears but is that really true?

I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. . . . That invisibility to which I refer occurs because of a peculiar disposition of the eyes of those with whom I come in contact. A matter of the construction of their inner eyes, those eyes with which they look through

We all think children are all innocent and cute, but is that really true? We always give excuses for children’s misconduct, distracting ourselves from the real truth. Kids are capable of terrible things that adults quickly ignore. Children can be very scary because of their capabilities that most adults believe to be innocent mistakes.
