The word choice used in There Will Come Soft Rains was a huge piece of my analysis. Bradbury uses specific diction to describe particular events in the story. Some personal favorites:

- An automated kitchen begins to prepare food, specifically eight pieces of toast,   eight eggs, sixteen slices of bacon, two cups of coffee and two glasses of milk. Through this breakfast menu we can assume 4 people live in the house, specifically two adults and two children, based on the beverage orders.

- The entire west side of the house is black except for five silhouettes: A man mowing the lawn, a woman picking flowers, and two children at play beneath a thrown ball. This ratifies Bradbury’s earlier hint at a family of four, and further informs the reader of how they died. Their images were “burned on the wood in one titanic instant”, which points to none other than a Hiroshima Shadow
