In Ray Bradbury's, The Martian Chronicles, Bradbury employs a writing technique that is very descriptive to the various scenes in this book. Bradbury describes Mars as a place of beauty when he speaks about the tall glassy towers in the dead Martian cities and leaves a sense of wonder and mystery when he speaks about the mountains. When Bradbury talks about the dead cities on Mars, his tone expresses an ancient beauty and history like that of Rome on Earth. After the Martians had moved to live in the mountains, Bradbury leaves a sense of wonder and mystery within the mountains to communicate that there is much unknown just as there is much unknown about the Martians. In the beginning of the book Ylla is singing a very poetic and beautiful song. In her song, Ylla uses a metaphor which reads, "Or leave a kiss within the cup, and I'll not ask for wine." Bradbury's tone uses love, affection and wonder which is seen through the song that Ylla learns from Nathaniel York in her dream.
