I think this piece by Mr. Bradbury is just completely, and purely genius.

Agree? Disagree? go for it

I agree Brodie. The ending was a real shocker.

was it really the ending? or just the beginning?

The ending was a shocker, but the whole story was awesome.

well,if ur as intuitive as me,you wouldve seen that coming,it was ok,it didnt catch me

Dang. :/
I'm pretty sure I was sleeping when we read this in class last year :P
And Brodie could probably confirm that. ahahah.

It may be as you say "predictable" to the "intuitive" mind, but it is still one of the gratest stories written by bradbury

"Predictable"? Or "inevitable"?

The former is usually not a good thing. But the latter can be a very good thing indeed. (The essence of good tragedy is to have somebody come to an inevitable end.)

Ah Phil, school-agers falling in love with Bradbury - a very beautiful thing!

Indeed!

Yes! I witness it (9-12) constantly!

And I don't believe you're "entitled" to tell me what opinions I am allowed to have.

and i dont believe your entitled to tell me what opinions im permited to have bout your opinions and so on and so forth,but considering the hundreds of published bradbury stories and the half dozen weve covered, i dont believe any of us are allowed to judge if this is one of his best,and either way when it comes down to it well only pick our favorites,so theres no way to pick rays best stories considering everyone is in a different situation thats why their favorite ray stories suit them and beyond that chances of replicating that a slim considering everyone is their own person

So... Erick, would you mind telling me what the point of this arguement is?, I mean if in my opinion I'm right and in your opinion your right.
