The Mechanical Hound connects to the theme of Animal and Nature imagery because it was programmed act as a living part of nature. However, it is only nonliving gears and metal. The quote above highlights the fact that the hound can't think or sleep like normal dogs.

The rain relates to the theme of Animal and Nature imagery because it represents the beauty and satisfying wonder of nature. Clarisse compares the taste of rain to the taste of wine, this connotation is usually associated with pleasure and happiness. Bradbury makes nature a large part of the story.]]> 2017-02-16 21:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_martin1/x4lrncrcebsf/wish/154469186 crystal_martin1 https://padlet.com/crystal_martin1/x4lrncrcebsf/wish/154470110 ""It drank up the green matter that flowed to the top in a slow boil." Bradbury (14)
The snake represents  Animal and Nature imagery because it was an actual machine that was like a snake. It was a machine that sucked out the green matter that was in Mildred, like a snake. The quote is giving an example of a snake because when snake catch their prey, they move slow and steady, and then pounce.]]> 2017-02-16 21:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_martin1/x4lrncrcebsf/wish/154470110 cjkellams100 https://padlet.com/crystal_martin1/x4lrncrcebsf/wish/154470423 This theme appeared in multiple places throughout the novel. The first place being in the hospital where a snake was described as sucking the venom out of Mildred. The second place being in the fire station with the Mechanical Hound sleeping a dark corner. The third place which demonstrated nature imagery was outside where Clarisse described the pure rain as wine.]]> 2017-02-16 21:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_martin1/x4lrncrcebsf/wish/154470423
