"There Will Come Soft Rains"

Today we discussed the poem "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Sara Teasdale. Video.
We talked about how science fiction always has a CURRENT event as its conflict, so it's important to know when the text was written because that will help you to narrow down the event at the theme.
We discussed the elements of a good argument paper which are
Author/speaker CREDIBILITY
Audience EMOTION
Logic EVIDENCE.
