Major and Minor Characters (A Side) Major Charact er Minor Charac ter Direct evidence of interaction Reasoning: How does this interaction help reveal the theme? George Hadley Peter Hadley After George informs Peter that they are going to turn off the house and take a vacation, Peter whines, “That sounds dreadful! Would I have to tie my own shoes instead of having the shoe tier do it?” (Bradbury 7). Clearly, Peter has become so used to life being made easy through technology that he is now unable to see the value in being self-sufficient. This illustrates how excessive technology detaches people from what truly matters. Theme theory: In our society, technology can damage people’s most important relationships and build an unhealthy reliance on the technology.

After George informs Peter that they are going to turn off the house and take a vacation, Peter whines, “That sounds dreadful! Would I have to tie my own shoes instead of having the shoe tier do it?” (Bradbury 7).

Clearly, Peter has become so used to life being made easy through technology that he is now unable to see the value in being self-sufficient. This illustrates how excessive technology detaches people from what truly matters.
