In the short story “The Man to Send Rainclouds” by Leslie Marmon Silko, a narrative is crafted that portrays the clash between Native American traditions and Catholicism. In the story, Teofilo, an elderly Native American man, passes away, leaving his family to navigate the clash between their traditional burial rituals and the influence of Catholicism. Despite resistance from the Catholic priest, the family honors Teofilo with a ceremony that combines indigenous customs and Catholic elements, highlighting the resilience of their cultural identity in the face of external pressures. Ultimately, Silko uses color as a symbolic element to illustrate the importance of communal bonds in preserving cultural heritage, while also weaving together themes

There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury is science fiction because it is set in the future, the technology is more advanced, and the author used science fiction to tell his own opinions about technology in our society. The story began with a setting in the future on August 14, 2026.There is one house that still stands after what looks like a nuclear explosion leaving a family’s ashes stuck to the houses side. The imprint was their last living moments before the explosion. As the house continues its loop of chores, not noticing everyone is dead, it cleans, cooks, and protects the house. One day a tree falls onto the house setting flames throughout the home.

Technology can be a great thing, or a bad thing. For example, an atomic bomb would be good for the people dropping it, but as for the receiving end, let’s just say they aren’t having their best day. Also, a hacking app would be good for the user, because they could get a lot of free stuff, but the places they are hacking will probably lose money. Ray Bradbury wrote “There Will Come Soft Rains,” and he has a chilling vision of what technology will be in the future.

Throughout Ray Bradbury’s short story ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ Bradbury expressed themes such as the automation and technology advancement along with nature prevailing and outlasting humanity. These themes were presented to me through the setting, characterisation, and symbolism. Automation and technology advancement was shown through setting, where the house is set in the future of Allendale. The house can perform many tasks that a human character can do; the house is able to speak poetry and even seems to be able to express all emotions. The house was threatened by fire; it screamed “Fire!”

The title of the story comes from the first line of the Sara Teasdale poem selected by the house to be read aloud. What do the poem and the story have in common? How are they different? Support your answer with details from both the poem and story.

In the poem “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury, the main character changes in the poem due to the effects of the fire.

When do you think this story occurs? What is it about the descriptions of the setting that makes you think this?

In “There Will Come Soft Rains” they got nuked but what countries would nuke the United States or any other country? Russia would be the one to nuke the United States. The Relations between Russia ,America, France and the United Kingdom have taken a turn. Russia, Ukraine and Syria are rivals with nuclear weapons that could send us back to the cold war era. Russia seems to be the main Country that could end the world due to them having the largest arsenal in the world. Russia has a whopping 7,300 warheads in their arsenal and they are continually adding to it.

In “There Will Come Soft Rains” Ray Bradbury suggests that technology is very destructive and dehumanizing. Bradbury shows this through talking about a house in the year 2026 that does everything for the humans that live in it. The house makes their food, cleans the dishes, cleans the house, and even reads to them. To some people this may sound like a good thing, but Bradburry shows how the house is not a human and it just is not the same. These are things people are meant to do and can have some meaning. Having a house doing nearly everything for you truly is dehumanizing. When he describes the houses jobs he makes them sound useless. The movements are useless because there are no people in the house, due to what Bradbury suggests was an atomic bomb by writing that the house was the only one not destroyed in a whole city, and there was a green radioactive glow throughout the city. Another way bradbury showed the house was destructive was when

These shows an extreme emphasize on the weathers importance, he could never escape his father’s clutch, and he can never idealize his own independence. The weather also helps the reader understand the pressure that Stephen is faced with; both literally and physically “The world was a maelstrom of darkness and wind” (Nowlan Pg__). This further reinforces Stephens’s unclear confused mind, and the harshness of his father’s expectations. “The wind struck his back like an alder switch” (Nowlan Pg__). The shadowing of how Stephen feels the confusion and coldness he faces. “The wind howled until Stephen expected it to wrench the roof from the camp” (Nowlan Pg__). Basically Stephens world was collapsing on him and his father’s disappointment was overpowering. “The wind hurled pellets of frozen snow against his face” (Nowlan Pg__). The adversity he faces, weather to be submissive to his father or to pursue his dreams. Through repetition and imagery, Nowlan emphasizes the effect that the weather and his father has on Stephen. After the friendly talks that Leka has had with him, Stephen was mislead by the Polack into think he was finally man. “He was no little boy to be cowed into obedience” (Nowlan Pg__). He believes he is now a man, and won’t be cowed into obedience. He believes that he has finally satisfied his father. This is later juxtaposed again, as later Stephen only

A house should be a love of labor, not something that does everything for you. Although having everything done for you is nice, there is no satisfaction in it. Doing chores and keeping a clean house is fulfilling and can help children develop responsibility.

Do readers believe that any one person can turn their life into something beautiful, even when all they have seen in their life is ugly? Based on this non-fiction poem the narrator finally realized his life wasn’t as bad as it could be. In Baca’s “Cloudy day,” readers find a speaker very attuned to the outer world while being incarcerated. Born in New Mexico of Indio-Mexican descent, Jimmy Santiago Baca was raised first by his grandmother and later sent to an orphanage. A runaway at age 13, it was after Baca was sentenced to five years in a maximum security prison that he began to turn his life around: Jimmy learned to read and write and unearthed a voracious passion for poetry.

Science fiction is a genre that has characteristics such as a futuristic setting and a human element.
