In "There Will Come Soft Rains," give three descriptions of the setting which contribute to the mood.

The setting is obviously based around a future world with an
unprecedented level of technological sophistication. But your question also points towards the
mood that is created by the description of the setting. It is clear that the description Bradbury
uses creates a desolate, lonely mood, as we are presented with a world in which humans have been
made extinct. Consider the following examples:

The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on,
repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time,
seven-nine!

Notice how the
repetition of "empty" and "emptiness" serve to create the desolate mood of a world without
humans.

The sun came
out from behind the rain. The house stood alone in a city of rubble and ashes. This was the one
house left standing. At night the ruined city gave off a radioactive glow which could be seen for
miles.

Here, the description of the
one house left standing in a city of "rubble and ashes" again reinforces that impression of
desolation and destruction. Note how the "radioactive glow" creates an eerie impression of
danger.

This mood continues to be sustained and developed throughout
the story as we are witnesses to the normal daily routine of this household - but without humans.
Again and again the high level of technological sophistication we are presented with emphasises
one of the key themes of the story - the irony that man has reached such scientific heights but
has also managed to make itself extinct through those same advances.
