    Science-fiction texts often use vivid storytelling so as to allow the reader to grasp an overall idea and gain an insight into a world that is often filled with chaos and disorder. There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury is a story that takes place in the future but takes its name from a 19th century writer. It is a story that takes a science-fiction plot and embroils it with real life moral and philosophical concerns. Bradbury’s protagonist is a house standing alone in a world destroyed by nuclear war in the 1950’s. When the story was written, the fear of devastating effects of nuclear war was painfully clear in peoples’ minds. With the use of narrative elements such as setting, language conventions, tone and structure, Bradbury is able to communicate his representation of an event, as well as his argument about the concern of humanity being brought to an end by our own ignorance. He is able to communicate this message to the reader whilst depicting a world in which human beings have been destroyed, rather than saved, by their own technology after the event of a…

    Some of the robots were made to be animals, such as the cleaning mice. Not only did these robots take the form of a living creature, Bradbury also described behavior traits nearly as emotions that are only seen in living things. He wrote that the cleaning mice robots were “angry” at the inconvenience of cleaning up the mud the living dog brought into the house (Bradbury 873). Robots do not get angry, as they do not have true emotions.…

    People are still indecisive about whether or not the normalized utilization of technology in their lives is a positive or negative commodity. Consequently, the easy access to things people once had to work for leads to an inevitable laziness that ensues with the internet at their fingertips. Unnecessary frivolities of the human mind, as well as the weakened ambition to acquire knowledge. Ray Bradbury explicitly stated in his short story, August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains (1950), that technology would be humankind’s downfall. Nevertheless, he is objectively incorrect in his assumption, as technological advancements have improved living conditions for people around the world.…

    Storytellers use short stories to portray people, places and ideas in order to entertain and engage the audience’s interest. The success of any story depends upon the way is it told as to achieve its purpose the author intended. Composers of texts use a variety of narrative techniques to convey the themes, characters, setting and plot of the story to the responder and thus fulfill its purpose.

    ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ made me feel absolutely devastated. Immersing me slowly in its melancholy world of rubbles, dust and ashes burning away in a nuclear war. Is by far the shortest, sharpest and most depressing short story that I have ever read. ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ is a snapshot that perfectly captures all of the social paranoias in society during the post war period of the 1950s. Rendering the beautiful and power mind of Ray Bradbury in a 4 page short story. Bradbury was at his absolute best when portraying the overwhelming sense of desolation and bleakness throughout the story. Like Ray Bradbury’s other short story ‘The Veldt’, ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ is a story that is able to teach yet another stingingly unforgettable lesson about technology that shines…
