Comparison Between the Characters: The House and Leonard Mead

        The House and Leonard are both alone, and have just about the same idea of the meaning of home. The House was the last thing left after the atomic bomb, and even without people it continued to go through its day like any other. It cooked, cleaned, read memorable stories, and still tried to please its owners. It was definitely robotic yet in the end still strived to save itself from the flaming fire. It didn’t have thoughts, but still did what it was there to do.

        Leonard had his own mind, thoughts, and followed his own actions. He’s a leader not a follower especially when it came down to brainwashed people throughout his town. Even though there were other people around, he was still alone. Leonard walked the streets late, and in all the ten years he had been walking he hadn’t seen one other person. The split sidewalks down the road led him to different houses with lights and a television on. He’s judged for not enjoying the T.V like everyone else, and was questioned on why he was out so late. He was sent away, and we still don’t know if he ever actually changed.

        Both the characters or figures were alone but coped with their setting and surroundings. The House went on with its life, and Leonard just didn’t change his life style and just adjusted to what everyone else was doing without letting it affect him.
