Allison,
As we are both doing the same question, it is a little bit harder to comment on your post!:) I agree with your pathos appeal of reasoning. The pathos appeal in this story is everywhere, from the family as your referenced, to the lone house and even the family dog. As you have pointed out, with the silhouettes of the family, Bradbury appeals to our emotions, but I almost even feel a sadness for the house who must feign ignorance at the loss of its creators.
This short story has all the specifications of a perfect utopia. Society strives for perfection even though it seemingly isn't possible. Obviously this perfection, undisturbed, proffers the utopia. Nuclear war, loss and even a fire, play the hero's of dystopias in the story.
I also see the logos appeal as well within this short story. As you talked about the time stamp in you post, I feel that the logos appeal, exists in that time stamp. Logically the time setting continues through each and every heading and offers a this appeal. Logical interpretations of reasoning are subsequent throughout this short story, which seems to give it a realistic avenue, meaning that it could really happen. Great Blog!
