hi, looking for help
My in class eassy (assignment) is to discuss and interpret the intertextuallity from Bradbury's fictions, 'The Pedestrian' and 'There will come soft rains'. I've finished analysing 'There Will Come soft rains' and have yet to read and analyse 'The Pedestrain'. Can anyone help me find any information?

Do you guys agree with my main points (below) for, 'There Will Come Soft Rains'? 1)The more invention we invent the less we rely on god 2) Humans don't need to think for themselves 3) All the robots would last longer then we would 4) Technology is 'not good' - cause nature destroys it 5) Without humans their jobs are pointless 6) Human's need for perfection, technology, is the downfall of society 7) Technology is evil - robot mice incernerating the dog 8)Human's are trying to play 'god' by creating Technology, who acts and does things like humans

I am quite a 'blur' when it comes to intertextuality, do I talk about similarities in the construction of the text or the values & attitudes of the texts? Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks!
