Ray Bradbury in his story ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’, uses the house as the main character and gives the house some robots or alarms that have emotion to them to make us empathise with this house and the robots inside that he describes throughout the story.
He shows this in the sentences “The weather box on the front door sang quietly; ‘Rain, rain, go away; rubbers, raincoats for today . . .’ And the rain tapped on the empty house echoing. Outside. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. After a long wait the door swung down again.” The words that really stick out to me are “The empty house echoing” and “The garage chimed and lifted to reveal the waiting car.” Because Ray Bradbury describes the car like it misses his driver and that makes me think it is alive. The house makes me feel like it’s lonely and it makes me empathise with this house. I find that Ray Bradbury’s choice of using the word ‘echoing’ was a good idea because adds the emptiness and loneliness feeling to the sentence and the house.

Good – a focused response; however, you can just combine the two paragraphs into one. Don’t forget to add your works cited section.

I think that you did a good job your first sentence is arguable and you have many good points from the text to back you up.
