The house has taken the personality of the whole family. There are many different voices in the house which is in charge of a specific duty in the house. The weather box sings softly in the morning “rain, rain, go away: rubbers, raincoats for today…” (Bradbury 64) which is there to remind the family of the proper attire that is best suited for the weather. The house functions to protect the property and to protect the family from any outside danger. The family approaches the house and the house lets the dog in because it recognizes the whine of the dog.

    Squish, squash, and splat are some of the noises heard as if someone would walk through piles of feces, urine, and other bodily fluids like they would walk through a yard on a snowy blizzard day. Dogs loudly barking, howling, growling, whining trying to be heard by a savior to rescue each one from the horrid abuse. Each dog that lives at a puppy mill does not live at all as most are matted with fur, covered in feces from the dog living in the cage above them, crusted eyes shut, and even diseases. Bial acknowledges that “puppy mills keep breeding dogs in overcrowded, shabby, and unsanitary cages-often rows of cages stacked on top of each other. To make waste cleanup easier, the cages have wire floors that injure paws and legs” (Bial 12).…

    “The dog ran upstairs, hysterically yelping to each door, at last realizing, as the house realized, that only silence was here.” This quote from the literary article “There Will Come Soft Rains” provides the reader with an understanding of the author, Ray Bradbury’s, negative opinion of technology by comparing how the dog and the house differentiate; the animal is able to detect that the silence resonating throughout the home is due to a lack of occupants. Throughout the course of the text, an absence of humanity and the repetitive nature of the machinery is evident. For example, the house sweeps up and burns the dead family dog as though it is another piece of trash. The house continues to make breakfast and draw baths, even though there is…
