392 Words1 Page

Do you think in the future that the houses will be more advanced? Ray Bradbury predicts throughout the time of the story that this is what the future will look like for us. For instance, the house is alive throughout the whole story. Also, this house is in the year 2026 so maybe will be as advanced in the future. Throughout the story, I will be telling how the house in this story is more advanced.
The houses in the future like in “There will come soft rains” will be more advanced. There will be houses in the future that can do specific things you tell them to do. Houses in our day now are not very advanced like they were in the story, we have no talking houses, none that clean up the house, or even cook for us. In the next twenty some years

  • Commentary of Sun and Shadow by Ray Bradbury

    1049 Words  | 3 Pages

    As members of a first-world nation, we are disrespectfully quick to point out the flaws and downfalls of impecunious societies and use the societies like mere scenery, even though we walk together on this earth. In “Sun and Shadow," Ray Bradbury manipulates Ricardo to convey to the reader the impertinence from outsiders and the responses from Ricardo and his fellow townspeople. A photographer is encountered doing a photo shoot on Ricardo’s property, and Ricardo becomes unhappy with his presence and angrily tells him to leave. After Ricardo’s increasingly sharp comments and attitudes augment, the photographer becomes satirical and facetious, poking fun at the lifestyle in which Ricardo lives. The short-tempered townsman reveals his defiance through actions projected towards the photographer. Through the use of characterization, Bradbury defines the fine societal line between Ricardo, the penurious dweller of the village, the inconsiderate photographer, and the sympathetic townspeople.

    The deterioration of residential homes is common throughout the years due to wear and tear from everyday usage. The cost to prevent this deterioration is usually minimal and does not skyrocket into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for routine maintenance. In addition, the construction of residential homes has improved throughout the years; hence, not as many repairs are required over time. Engineers have developed better concepts of how homes will stand up against the elements and big box stores encourage the homeowners to repair and do their own maintenance on their standard house. However, there are residential homes that are nonconforming and their architectural designs are of those who have brought these homes into the forefront of Modern Architecture. One who is most noteworthy and is synonymous with residential homes is Frank Lloyd Wright. Known for his unique style of residential design, Frank Lloyd Wright was ahead of his time, however, the materials he used in these designs have proven to be unsustainable and cost hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars to homeowners for their preservation.

    The chasing of a mirage is a futile quest where an individual chases an imaginary image that he or she wants to capture. The goal of this impossible quest is in sight, but it is unattainable. Even with the knowledge that failure is inevitable, people still dream of catching a mirage. There is a fine line that separates those who are oblivious to this fact, and to those who are aware and accept this knowledge. The people who are oblivious represent those who are ignorant of the fact that their dream will be deferred. This denial is the core of the concept used in A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. The perception of the American Dream is one that is highly subjective, but every individual dream ends in its own deferment.

    By the use of an onomatopoeia, the house not only shows the utilization of technology, but as well as nature, because the sun will still rise and the day will still go on, when it says “Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o'clock!” Later on, Bradbury wrote, “And the rain tapped on the empty house, echoing.” By referring to the rain as ‘tapping’ on the empty house, nature’s cycle was not affected by the empty, human-less house. The house’s sequence also continued. Bradbury then uses personification again, when he says the pipes of the sink were digesting the the food. Throughout the story, Bradbury uses specific language, and figurative writing to create meaning and establish the

    The award-winning play A Raisin in the Sun, written by Lorraine Hansberry focuses on characters that are challenged by the reality of their dreams and the harsh society around them. Walter Lee Younger, a working man with a small family, is someone who has high hopes for his future, but, during the book, he repeatedly had doubts about the outcome of his goals. As the play progressed, Walter’s dream plays a large role in his character development because he starts off as a man who felt as if all of his family members neglected his dreams, and transitioned into a person who is willing to do whatever it takes for his family’s dreams to flourish, instead of purely his own.

    Optimism is a trait possessed by people who expect the best possible outcome from a situation. In Lorraine Hansberry’s, A Raisin in the Sun, Joseph Asagai is completely optimistic about the future. At times, the Younger family seem completely hopeless, but Asagai never gives up. He views life as a line that curves into infinity. On the other hand, Beneatha sees life as a circle that we march in, over and over. Asagai is correct in saying that life is a line which we cannot see the end to and we cannot see how it changes. “It isn’t a circle. It is simply a long line- as in geometry, you know- one that curves into infinity. And because we cannot see the end, we also cannot see how it- changes And it is very odd, but those who see the changes-

It should have a kitchen that allows sunlight to peek through the windows for natural light. My house will contain of lots of different paintings and artwork from the place that I grew up - Minnesota. The furniture will match the color of the walls, and the curtains will accent the entire room. Every time I walk into my house it will give off a pleasant vibe, and everyday I will look forward to getting back to my comfortable home. A typical day will consist of me going to work in the morning by bus and throughout the afternoon. I will walk home from my work in the nice, sunny weather to come home to my dogs greeting me and my husband arriving home at around the same time.
