Ray Bradbury Conflict Quotes

235 Words1 Page

The conflict of the story allows people easily identify the theme. An example of this is “ ‘ And I’ve been thinking, ‘ said Braling Two, ‘ how nice it is in Rio and how I’ll never get there and I’ve thought about it and your wife and- I think we could be very happy together,’ “ (Bradbury 162). This quote is leading up to when Braling Two errantly throws Braling into a toolbox, locks it and throws away the key so the robot can live Braling’s life. This quote proves my thesis because this technology has been living too much of Braling’s life. Therefore, Braling Two eventually takes over his life. The next example I have for this is, “ ‘I’m going to put you in the box, lock it, and lose the key. Then I’ll buy another Rio ticket for your wife.’

As the reader first starts to read “Popular Mechanics”, the story is very intense right off the bat and the readers can sense the “heated” situation just by paying attention to the dialogue and diction.
