What are two lines in which personification is used to give human traits to the Happylife Home operating system in "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury?

Two different passages that contain personification as it relates to the Happylife Home are the following:

1. They walked down the hall of their soundproofed Happylife Home, ...this house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them.
   


2. "...the whole damn house dies as of here and now"

In the second example, Peter's father thinks of the house as alive because he says, "...the whole damn house dies as of here and now" as he shuts off various machines throughout the house, as well as the nursery.

This use of personification by Bradbury underscores his theme of the dangers of technology. By becoming too dependent upon machinery and other non-human sources, man risks becoming alienated from others. And, certainly, too much attention to technology mitigates emotional involvement with others.
