Reasearch Paper
Hi im new and i read a couple of books and short stories of Ray. I need help on a research paper for english. I need a research site for 'Illistrated Man'. I need some resources/sites where i can find speeches, journals, interviews, etc. Some questions the paper asks for is: Is Ray Bradbury's science fiction feasible in our future? What is in Mars and Venuse? Will our technology ever produce the nursery or the home that will "tie our shoelaces"? Any help or sites is greatly appreciated. My greatest concern is how I can get information about Venus and Mars but with Ray's book tied in.
Thanks in advanced

For a Venus story try “All Summer In A Day” published in the collection “A Medicine For Melancholy”. For Mars, read “The Martian Chronicles”. I realize this is only part of what you are looking for but it is all I have.

Try heading for your local public library for research material, instead of just relying on the Internet. A number of critical studies of Ray's work have been published in book form over the last twenty or so years. For example, to find a number of interviews with Ray Bradbury in one place, check out the book, CONVERSATIONS WITH RAY BRADBURY, published in 2004 by the University of Mississippi Press.

I am currently reading Conversations With Ray Bradbury and it is quite enlightening. I would recommend it to anyone, although it is a little pricey due to it being published in smaller numbers by the University.
