There Will Come Soft Rains

The END!

The house burns down and that shows how technology can also be destructive. In the future, we rely on technology but it can sometimes lead to great disasters.

A dog walks in!

I was shocked to see a dog come in, and more importantly the house allowing the dog to walk in. Because there weren't any human beings in the house and they were not even mentioned, so with a old dog walking in and dying was shocking.

Dog is gone.

When the dog is put in the incinerator, it looked kind of disrespectful to bury a dog, because it's usually used to burn waste material.

Cards time!

It shows how the house follows the same routine as usual by opening card tables, making sandwiches, and martini's.

Seven o' clock is the time to wake up.

The beginning of the story makes me feel that it's a technological world with the voice clock singing and trying to wake someone up.

At 7:09am, the house makes eggs, toasts, bacon, and 2 glasses of milk and coffee each for breakfast.

As I started reading this sentence, it assured me that this house is a technological house and the author is trying to convey what technology can do in the future.

Time to go to work or school.

I think that this shows how advanced the clock is as it remembers each and everything. It's also very accurate as it gives a reminder exactly when the clock strikes 8:01am.

Breakfast is flushed away and dirty dishes are washed.

Again, I had the same thought about the advanced technology in the house which automatically does everything which is needed.

Ms. Mclenaghan!

This is the first time the owner's name is mentioned in the short story. I was shocked to see the name as I thought there weren't any humans.
