The story tells of a house that is technologically advanced to the point of sentience. Even though it was upgraded in order to take care of its family, they and the rest of humanity died due to nuclear destruction. This is necessary for the reader as the house continues with the family’s routine, even though they are not there. The house’s actions make it seem as if it is keeping itself ready in the event the family does come home. However, it has already acknowledged they have died but chooses to ignore it. When Bradbury writes, “. . . ‘fire!’ The house tried to save itself . . . . But too late . . . . Among the ruins, one wall stood alone . . . . [A] last voice said . . . ‘Today is August 5, 2026 . . . . ‘ ,” it shows that despite everything the house wanted, needed to be there in case its family returned.In this case, the defense mechanism is used for protection. The house is similar to a widow, as it continues its routine as if its loved ones are still there for a sense of comfort. The house had created its own safe space where it and and all the smaller robots in it could stay occupied until actually needed. For without the family, the house would have no purpose aside from wasting away.Custis Donner>>I chose the “The Storm” by Kate Chapin, which is the same short I wrote the short story over. This story is about a girl, Calixta, having an affair with an ex lover named Alcee. During the short, a storm creates a window where Calixta is alone with Alcee because he is seeking shelter from the storm. Once they get alone, we start to see the analytical theme, “fear of intimacy.” The fear is not enough to prevent her from getting with Alcee as we can see when Chopin writes, “As she glanced up at him the fear in her liquid blue eyes had given place to a drowsy gleam that unconsciously betrayed a sensuous desire” (2). This quote shows both her nervousness and reluctance, but also the seduction and transition to giving in to her sexual desires.Nearing the climax of the storm, we see Calixta give in to her desires. At the pinnacle of the storm we see her give in to her temptation and fall into Alcee’s arms and proceed to make love. The storm then comes to a quick ending and so does the affair. They go their separate ways and act as if nothing ever happened. They go back to their families and almost seem to have more love and appreciation towards them. This suggests that Calixta and Alcee both may feel sexually deprived and that they need an outlet, which they got. I wonder if the story kept going if it would happen again. Kate Chopin did a great job on this one.
