It's way too much reading and so confusing, nothing surprises me, i´m not trying to be negative about it. This is just how I feel. https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/564783871 one passage that stood out for me though was ¨The rooms were acrawl with the small cleaning animals,
all rubber and metal. They thudded against chairs, whirling their moustached runners, kneading the rug
nap, sucking gently at hidden dust. Then, like mysterious invaders, they popped into their burrows. Their
pink electric eyes faded. The house was clean.¨ cause its talking about animals cleaning and stuff.

My opinion on “There Will Be Soft Rains” is that it is a good story that shows how invested we're in when it comes to advanced technology. I think this because almost everything is technology based now and therefore we want to make it the best it can be.
One part in the story that stood out to me was “Five o'clock. The bath filled with clear hot water. Six, seven, eight o'clock. The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks, and in the study a click. In the metal stand opposite the hearth where a fire now blazed up warmly, a cigar popped out, half an inch of soft grey ash on it, smoking, waiting… The fire burned on the stone hearth and the cigar fell away into a mound of quiet ash on its tray. The empty chairs faced each other between the silent walls, and the music played. At ten o'clock the house began to die.” This stood out because it showed how the house was on a schedule everyday and without someone to be there to do the daily things they needed to, the house caught on fire and “died.” This demonstrates that technology can have negative impacts on us.

Question 2
Stories like this one bring us into reality and show us what could happen if we are not careful with our actions. We are so caught up in technology these days that we might be killing ourselves. Robots and computers are already taking our jobs, creating 5G data changes the wavelength that we have and will eventually kill us. This shows that until something changes we are harming ourselves. Badly.

Bradburys prediction in 1950 &’ what our present is like is way different the way he pictured things &’ it’s way more confusing because of the way it happened ]]> 2020-05-11 13:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/564912971 mayasaadah https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/565024202 my opinion on "There Will Come Soft Rains" i didn’t like it i didn’t understand it and it was too confusing. I have never read a book where a house is a character. At first I was waiting for a character to be introduced but that didn't happen. I was surprised because I didn't think the story would be about a house. One part in the story that stood out to me was “Five o'clock. The bath filled with clear hot water. Six, seven, eight o'clock. The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks, and in the study a click." This text shows the house a schedule like how a human would. And it shows when it comes to advanced technology the house was trying to take care it's self but ended up dying in a fire.The story shows we need to be more careful. We are so caught up in technology that we let it destroy our lives.

One part of the story that stood out to me was the part where the house caught on fire and it was like the house was given human emotions and making it seem like there was a actual person there.]]> 2020-05-11 14:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/565080230 osama https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/565467857 2020-05-11 16:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/565467857 Rayta https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/565752476 Question 1- My opinion is that the story made my head hurt. Honestly all the stories in this class makes my head hurt except T.H.U.G. ]]> 2020-05-11 18:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/565752476 molly crismailymelendez https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/565979267 ngl i dont like this passage its confusing we need another passage ya be making us read like 10 pages nobody got time for that

one passage that stood out to me was when the house was "alive" and screaming for help and it represented the anger the author has because of the life lost in the war

One passage that stood out to me was "The entire west face of the house was black, save for five places.
Here the silhouette in paint of a man mowing a lawn. Here, as in a photograph, a woman bent to pick flowers. Still farther over, their images burned on wood in one titanic instant, a small boy, hands flung into
the air; higher up, the image of a thrown ball, and opposite him a girl, hands raised to catch a ball which
never came down". This stood out to me because it gives a direct reference to humans and it shows that they are missing in the story.

What the stories about the future say about the present is that we keep progressing when it comes to technology. The connections that I can make about Bradbury’s prediction in 1950 and what our present in 2020 is like are that he predicted that there were going to be some kinds of robots in our homes and we now have devices such as Alexa and Google Home. ]]> 2020-05-11 21:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/566107207 saraimerced https://padlet.com/czaydel/9ulkdenutbgis13k/wish/566330311 Question 2: My thoughts on "There Will Come Soft Rains" were very intriguing. It's something I've never read before but it's the first actual time I enjoyed reading. It was not all confusing but more like a major plot twist that was kind of unexpected. It was entirely different from any other book or story I've ever read before and it made me use a lot of thinking to deeply understand it, almost like a riddle. It uses so many intellectual words, phrases, and figurative language which makes this story 10 times more enjoyable, like a movie except instead I had to use my imagination to visualize the story's plot. "Ten o'clock. The sun came out from behind the rain. The house stood alone in a city of rubble and ashes.
This was the one house left standing." at this point in the story this is the part where it changes entirely which gives readers a different perspective and new main idea of the text.

Question 2: many stories about the future tell us or try to inspire people in a way to try and achieve things that are not possible like flying cars and such. It also tells us how messed up we are to not be able to be thankful for what we have and what we do to ourselves, and others we influence. our presidents or the government, they influence violence which will hold us back from things that we want to achieve. If we are all in the same head space and want the same economic success we have to connect in a way we never did before. We have to think innovatively in order to overcome things in the past that have held us back from having many good things for the many generations ahead of us.
