The poem, There Will Come Soft Rains, is about how when man destroys itself with war, nature will go on happily without it. When there is no response, the house recited her favorite one. McClellan what poem she would like to hear that night. From five to nine o’clock, the house continued with its nightly routine. Some parts of the house were pretty broken down, including the nursery. As time passed the house was still silent, and everything the house prepared for whoever lived there was untouched. It died, and the cleaning robot mice cleaned up its body. On a black wall, there are the silhouettes of a family of five.Īt noon, a skinny, bruised dog walks into the house, looking for his owners, but realized they are gone. The house, standing alone in a city of rubble and ashes, is cleaned by technology on the outside. Robot mice come out of the walls, clean, and disappear again. The garage door opens but shuts when no one comes. The house is run by technology the stove makes breakfast and voices continuing to repeat the date, time, and events happening that day. A presentation on Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Natalie Hampton, Athena Haq, and Deonna FordĪ voice echoes throughout the house, saying the date and time.
