Question
In the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury, what are some examples in the text of contrast? I have one, how the imagery of surrounding is gruesome juxtaposed against the cheerful moment of bliss of the children playing ball, yet again contrasted by their image being burnt onto the wall. Any other good points? I want to write something about the animals (the real-dog vs the fake-mice) but I don't know what to interpret and discuss. Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you!

I have not read this story, so can't help. Perhaps another English tutor has read it.
Okay, I looked up the story. Is the automated household continuing it's grind with no one there a contrast? Is the charred exterior of the house, save the silhouettes of the family, a contrast? What do these things mean?
