E10 model "" paragraph

Ray Bradbury’s science fiction short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” is full of examples of personification.  First of all, kitchen appliances are given human characteristics.  The stove “sigh[s]” as it cooks breakfast and the sink is described as having a “throat”.  Secondly, both the alarm clock and the mailbox seem to express happiness as they “sing”.  The computer controlling the house has “eyes”, and the cleaning robots are described as pink-eyed “mice” which “dart” and “suck” at the dirt after they emerge from their “burrows” just like living creatures.  Most importantly, the house itself is personified as feeling the human emotion of “peace”.  When the house catches fire, it is described as having “oak bone[s]” and a “skeleton” as well as “nerves” and “skin”.  The house gets “hysterical” and then “die[s]”.  Clearly, Bradbury uses personification throughout the story.
