"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen

ceiling,

"in the city of

Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's

sake. "Today is Mr.

Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable,

as are the water, gas, and light bills."
This stood out to me because it sounded like their lives were going good and everything was normal until the bomb was dropped. They could pay all their bills and they had friends. In one split second theirs lives were

Something I am confused about is the fact that if the house is so intelligent and independant then it should have realized that nobody is home and to stop wasting water. This way it would have been able to put out the fire that took the house down.

I think that the author is trying to say that that since this is in 2026, that he is predicting that technology is going to take over our daily lives, and is going to outlast us if we are not careful. What I mean about being careful is, that we need to make sure that we have control and responsibility over technology, rather than vice versa

I think the author thinks that we should not have cyborg animals. Like how she says the monkey doesn't think it belongs to anybody in turn the monkey has a negative attitude about every person including his own species of chimps.

"The house gave ground as the fire in ten billion angry sparks moved with flaming ease from room to room and then up the stairs."
This quote really stood out to me in the story because it shows how technology can't help with everything because the fire started to spread but the technology couldn't put out the fire in time.

Something I found from the story I that made me see how technology could be misused and find obsession  with technology for example, ¨I went wild! I got home to find my wife hysterical. Why? Because she had been completely out of touch with me for half a day. Remember, I did a dance on my wrist radio? Well, that night I laid plans to murder my house." (Bradbury, pg. 2)

for me the quote "Two hundred twenty-three. And you?"

"I'm still under two hundred. --But to get back to my point. Population doubles every ten years. Once this Galaxy is filled, we'll have filled another in ten years. Another ten years and we'll have filled two more.

In the story The Murderer the "murderer" explains why he hates technology in a statement with this quote  "What

I believe that Bradbury is trying to say that technology if it is used in the right way can be helpful to humans, like doing chores and making your life easier. But I think that he is trying to say that it has its flaws too because of how the technology in their house kept on working and didn't realize the people weren't coming back.

“The voice said at last, "Since you express no preference, I shall select a poem at random." Quiet music rose to back the voice. "Sara Teasdale. As I recall, your favourite…” (Bradbury) This quote stood out to me because this is the original poet (Sara Teasdale) on the poem of There Will Come Soft Rains, and in her poem it talks about a battlefield, and in the story by Ray Bradbury the battlefield is like technology taking over, or being the last thing left.

I belive that Ray Bradbury shows a future in the Murderer in which technology is so intrusive and invasive that it eliminates people privacy and creates an environment were people individual feelings do not matter. We can see these opinions and thoughts show through in many circumstances in the story.

This story was confusing to me. I had to go back and read it again because its a lot to think about. There's walls talking and clocks and all the things the robots can do.

I think the advanced technology that he explained was to much for the house. The house was basically doing everything. That leaves the homeowners to basically do what ? They don't cook or clean and I think that has some great effect. But as well as the nuclear like how everything on the outside was destroyed and as well were the people. So the fact that the house remained with its little robots I think its WOW

Tecnology in Bradbury’s eyes is obviously effecting the world very negitivly. I think he believes that when man passes that our mark will be very hard for other forces Ike nature to over pass. The author has seen the negative use of tecnology since being apart of the war and probally is trying to show the possible dangers before it actually happens.

Analysis: I think Bradbury is trying to say that technology has overcome our lives, and taken over. The main character is called "the murderer" yet doesn't really murder anyone. This shows that people have started to value technology as much as human lives.

I was very confused by tthe Mara ing of the sotry before doing research about the author. I think that it is very important to know that the author was a war fighter i n world war 2 and this story takes place in a nuclear halocost and how nature is being destroyed by man and man will destroy themselves. This would have been good information to know prior to reading the authors writting.
