What vision of the future does Ray Bradbury create for the reader?this is about a project I have to make 4 school: I need this answer; if you...

In his hatred of materialism and modern man's insatiable
hunger for technology, Ray Bradbury has disaster strike the house of "There Will Come
Soft Rains."  The music of the house is silenced, but the memory of Sara Teasdale's poem
lingers:



And
Spring herself, when she woke at dawn


Would scarcely know
that we were gone.



Nature,
who is not greedy and heedless of life, will survive; man will not.  He will be
destroyed by his hubris that drives him to create more and more
machines to do his work, until, finally, there is little need for him.  Clearly,
Bradbury's story is an indictment against the materialism of the twentieth century with
its desire to have technology even think for man. "But too late" Bradbury writes, as man
has destroyed everything in a nuclear battle.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
