There will come soft rains: determine the authors central idea (main) idea and cite evidence from the story to support your answer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

down below

Explanation:

As a science-fiction author who concerned himself with philosophical and moral ideas, Ray Bradbury presents two significant themes in his short story "There Will Come Soft Rains":  the central irony that humans are harmed rather than saved by their own technology, and the underlying truth that Nature will prevail over both humanity and technology.

Humans are destroyed by their own technology

While the family lives a leisurely life with automated stoves, diswashers, tiny robot mice as housekeepers, voice-clocks, garden sprinklers, automated garage doors and cars, etc., the family, ironically, is annihilated by another form of technology: the nuclear explosion, "one titanic instant" that leaves the family as mere silhouettes against the wall of the house.

The house was an altar with ten thousand attendants, big, small , servicing, attending in choirs. But the gods had gone away, and the ritual of the religion continued senselessly, uselessly.

Nature prevails over both human life and technology

Using Sara Teasdale's poem as a metaphor for the idea that Nature will conquer all that is artificial as well as human forces, Bradbury utilizes the fire to destroy the house's technology that works at a "psychopathic rate." Yet, after this futuristic "Armageddon," the final paragraph presages Nature's ability to restore as well as to prevail: "Dawn showed faintly in the east."

What are the most important ideas in stanzas 1 and 2 of "" At first"" ?

Answers

Answer:

In the first stanza the most important idea is that the speaker presents the reasons that make him dislike his own name. In the second stanza, the most important idea is the speaker showing the reasons that make his mother believe that this is the perfect name for him.

Explanation:

"At first" is the poem that presents the speaker's dissatisfaction with his own name. His name is Josh and that name makes him a constant target for jokes at school and wherever he goes. This amount of jokes makes him very dissatisfied and makes him hate that name. However, his mother believes that this is the perfect name for him, since he leaves his room in a total mess, full of garbage and disgusting things.

Read this excerpt from "How the World Was Made."

[Buzzard] flew all over the earth, low down near the ground, and it was still soft. When he reached the Cherokee country, he was very tired; his wings began to flap and strike the ground. Wherever they struck the earth there was a valley; whenever the wings turned upwards again, there was a mountain.

How does this incident provoke a decision in the story?

The other animals decide to call Buzzard back to Galun'lati, lest the entire world become mountainous.

Water Beetle decides to bring some mud from under the water to fill in some of the valleys Buzzard created.

The Cherokee decide to settle in the mountainous land Buzzard has created.

The other animals decide to put the sun in the sky so they can better admire what Buzzard has done.

Answers

Answer: The other animals decide to call Buzzard back to Galun'lati, lest the entire world become mountainous.

Explanation:

The animals used to stay in Galun'tai which was in the sky. They wanted to move to the earth which the water beetle had brought up from the ocean's bottom. The land was too wet for them though so they went back to the sky.

After some time they then sent the Great Buzzard who flew all over the earth to find land to settle. As his wings created mountains and valleys as stated in the excerpt, the animals became scared that the whole word would become mountainous so they called him back.

Although it is difficult for the narrator to leave his home and leave his own family in rez, he knows that this is the only way to achieve a better life for himself and for the family that has so much potential.

Does Bilbo Baggins show perseverance in The Hobbit?

Answers

Answer:

He acts at first like a coward and a scaredy-cat because that is what hobbits do. They like to just sit around all day and be lazy and do nothing. In the middle and end of the book he actions lean him more towards fierce and brave.

Explanation:

He initially displays cowardice and fear because that is how hobbits behave. They enjoy doing nothing but lounging about all day. His acts throughout the middle and end of the novel skew him more toward brave and aggressive.

What is the concept of the Bilbo Baggins?

The stealthy Bilbo Baggins is a gentleman. He didn't steal out of avarice; rather, he did it in order to advance their investigation and safeguard his party's members. Because he is a Hobbit, Bilbo embodies Tolkien's definition of a true hero: a small man with a large heart.

The adjective that best depicts Bilbo Baggins at the opening of The Hobbit is "well-ordered." The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which was helmed by Peter Jackson, is a fictional film. The movie came out in the year 2012.

Thus, He initially displays cowardice and fear because that is how hobbits behave.
