The world's most valuable brands are Apple, Microsoft, and Google. Ray Bradbury, a well know science fiction writer, often wrote about this type of technology that captivates daily lives. His stories enchanted and his predictions, about the future, surprised not just the reader, but also himself. His strong usage of imagery, figurative language, tone, mood, diction, and syntax was put together to create a unique style in three specific stories. "A Sound of Thunder," "There Will Come Soft Rains," and "The Pedestrian" all accentuate Bradbury's creatively, awesome style. Because of his style, the themes differed with some similarities in these three stories.

In the story "There Will Come Soft Rains," he uses warm family imagery to create a home. This is shown in the sentence, "The garden sprinklers whirled up in golden founts, filling the soft morning air with scatterings of brightness." A big use of personification is present because of the fact that there are no people throughout the story. This is shown in the quote, "In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunnyside up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk." In this story, Bradbury used a family dialect to, again, highlight the warm family feel. This is proven in the sentence, "Here as in a photograph, a woman bent to pick flowers," because of the simple selection of diction. The syntax is quite long and flowy to create a timeless feel to the house. This point is emphasized in the sentence, "Still farther over, their images burned on wood in one titanic instant, a small boy, hands flung into the air, higher up, the image of a thrown ball, and opposite him a girl, hands raised to catch a ball which never came down." The overall tone of this story is negative towards nuclear war and the aftermath, which leads to the negative mood against extreme violence. This point is proven in the sentence, At night the ruined city gave off a radioactive glow which could be seen for miles." This all leads to the theme that war should not be something that to be messed around
