Message: Even when it seems like there is no hope for a situation of sorts, there will be someone who keeps trying. "Among the ruins, one wall stood alone. Within the wall, a last voice said, over and over again, even as the sun rose to shine on the heaped rubble and steam:
"Today is August 5, 2026, today is August 5, 2026, today is..."]]> 2016-08-30 15:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603730 easpisak https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603833 Theme: lonely
Message: appreciate what we have now because things can easily change and you can turn out to be being alone/ everything you have will be gone. 
Evidence: "Dawn showed faintly in the east. Among the ruins, one wall stood alone." The wall was the only thing standing and the rest of the house and the city was gone. In just a short amount of time, things quickly escalated and everything got ruined.]]> 2016-08-30 15:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603833 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603873 theme: lonlyness
message: that even the smallest of things or people ore anmals get lonly
evidence: in the story the animals were alone with no owners and the robot didn't know about the deaths of the people]]> 2016-08-30 15:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603873 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603952 Theme: lost of freedom

Message: Do things on your own because you will not know what you cant do until you cant do it anymore. In the text it says "The house was an alter  with ten thousand attendants,big,small,servicing,attending in choirs." Maybe this story was about how humans had their lost in freedom in what they were able to do.]]> 2016-08-30 15:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603952 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603954 Theme: Change

Message: As places routines and people change everything and everyone around them has to adapt to the new ways.

Evidence: "The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness." The house started its day for the family as usual and as if the family was home and nothing changed. Eventually the house was working too hard and it "died" because the routine and the family changed but the house did not.]]> 2016-08-30 15:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603954 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603993 Theme: Change
Message: Things change, everything can be perfect one day and then it can be horrible the next day. You need to be grateful for everything you have.
Evidence: In the story it explains how the house was perfect and then it caught on fire in an instant and everything got destroyed. It says, "The house began to die...The room went ablaze in an instant. The house tried to save itself."]]> 2016-08-30 15:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120603993 jwhorbach https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120604017 Theme: Sadness
Message:  everything can change so quick that you wont even see it coming and worship every moment you have.
Evidence: ¨The wind blew.  A falling tree bough crashd through the window.  Cleaning solvent, bottled, shattered over the stove.  The room was ablaze in an instant!¨]]> 2016-08-30 15:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120604017 smgranato https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120604052 Theme: Futuristic
Message: Even though the advancements in technology may be a big deal now later on they might be tedious.
Evidence: The machines would always tell the family or once they were there what to do and when to do it they had little to no freedom or choice to do what they pleased. For example each passing hour the machine would sing a new tune that went along with the time and what they had to do, "Nine-fifteen time to clean." Or, "Eight one, tick-tock, eight-one o'clock, off to school, off to work, run, run, eight-
one!

Message: You should be happy with what you are given and always be thankful for that
Evidence: "The dog was gone", this shows how bad things happen at random times so always be thankful for what you have]]> 2016-08-30 15:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120604255 hbgg2000 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120604606 Theme: Lonely

Message: bad things can happen any minute of every day without realizing until now.
Evidence: "The dog frothed at the mouth, lying at the door, sniffing, it's eyes turned to fire. It ran wildly in circles, biting at it's tail, spun in a frenzy, and died."

Message: The modern technology that we have now, could end up being a bad thing in the future because everything could change very fast. The technology and machines always told the people what to do and how to do it so the people never had to make choices by them self. "The morning house lay empty." The house was very lonely with not much]]> 2016-08-30 15:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120605146 jccampos https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120605210 Theme: loneliness 
Message: I think that the authors message is that technology causes loneliness. in the story you can infer that a nuclear explosion had occurred "The house stood alone in a city of rubble and ashes. this was the one house left standing..." technology was made to make the bomb therefore it caused loneliness. another example of when the author showed his message is when the dog comes back home only to leave because of technology not allowing it to get any attention from its dead owners.  ]]> 2016-08-30 15:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120605210 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120605286 Theme: depressing
Message: the message is that things are not forever things change for example everything was fun and 
then the bomb went off the "paint of the man, the woman, the children , and the ball]]> 2016-08-30 15:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120605286 begadiano https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120605997 Theme: Death and time
Message: Eventually things perish over time, even if they are good.

Evidence: In the story, "August 2026: There will come soft rains" by Ray Bradbury, death is represented when the house at the end of the story catches fire and burns down. This represents that after being the last and only thing standing strong in "civilization" it crumbles and is destroyed forever due to time. Relating to the message of things eventually perish.]]> 2016-08-30 15:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120605997 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120607200

Message: Even though they had
 near perfect technology It's just that Near perfect. Technology will never be perfect it will always mess up some how and my evidance is that the oven burned down the house and i think that whatever was watching that bomb that blew up almost everything was being managed by robots could have messed up. this would only make sense by how almost everything else was being managed by robots  ]]> 2016-08-30 15:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120607407 bnorth https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120607813 Humans Killing Humans

Message: It should'nt be this way humans should not be killing other humands

Evidence"this was one house left standing. at night the ruined city gave off a radioactive glow which could be seen for miles"

The reason this clicks because the for a radioactive glow to happen  you need bombs and bombs are made by humans so that mean humans had to kill humans ]]> 2016-08-30 15:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120607813 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120609138 Theme: depressing 
Mesasge: it's depressing because a dog died and there was a bad fire and things happened so fast like nothing ever happened.
Evidence: "Help, help! Fire! Run run! Heat snapped mirrors like the brittle winter ice. And the voices wailled fire, fire, run, run, like a tiger]]> 2016-08-30 16:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120609138 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120609257 I think the theme of this short story was abandonded. 
To me the message of this story was readlly the fact that technolgy can take over the world/ the human race and even when evrybody may be gone, technology will still continue ]]> 2016-08-30 16:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120609257 clroberts1 https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120609449 Theme: denial
Message:  though sometimes people will deny what they know is right in front of them, they need to accept what will inevitably happen.
Evidence: the fire is a symbol of (pretty much) anything that has been denied. It is an inevitable demise that cannot be stopped and will destroy everything. at the end the house is still denying that the people that once inhabited it have long past. at the very end the house is still saying "Today is August 5, 2026..."]]> 2016-08-30 16:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120609449 rprokosz https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120609883 Theme: Lonely
Message: i think that the message is that don't trust technology that will run your life because there will always be something that goes wrong also there was nothing there to keep the house in tact and that the house thought there was a person it it but no one was there and it still kept doing its daily things.]]> 2016-08-30 16:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nrbillings/yf4675mg7bhx/wish/120609883
