This research paper: A 3 page essay that summarizes and analyzes Ray Bradbury's science fiction short story "August 2026: There will come soft rains." The writer argues that this narrative is poetic in its style, tone and imagery. It is a softly sardonic commentary on the cleverness of Western civilization, which is pictured as capable of producing the technological marvels of the "house," which is the story's protagonist, yet not clever enough to avoid the man-made catastrophe that kills the house's inhabitants. As this suggests, the tone of the story is highly ironic as Bradbury provides a sad epitaph for a civilization that valued gadgetry to the point of its own destruction. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
