The Children have no emotional connection to their genetic parents, and see the nursery as more of a parent due to the fact that it does everything for them

The reversal in this case it would be how the children act in control of the parents which should be in the parents case not the children.
"At dinner they ate alone, for Wendy and Peter were at a special plastic carnival
across town and bad televised home to say they’d be late, to go ahead eating."]]> 2018-10-01 14:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287615369 20kellyr https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287615915 ¨He stared at the two children seated in the center of the open glade eating a little picnic
lunch...Now the lions were done feeding. They moved to the water hole to drink¨ (Bradbury 13). 
At the end of the story, the phycologist comes into the veldt to see a very disturbing and out of place scene, with the children having a picnic while the lions feed on the remains of their parents in the background. This is shying away from the normal because the children should be running away from the lions, not having a nice mellow picnic so close to the beasts]]> 2018-10-01 14:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287615915 20brunoc https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287617880 "You’ve let this room and this house replace you and your wife
in your children’s affections. This room is their mother and father, far more important
in their lives than their real parents." (Bradbury 10) It is very unlikely for children to fully replace their parents in life with electronics and technology because you still have the limited emotional attachment from being genetically attached.]]> 2018-10-01 14:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287617880 20brunoc https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287620532 2018-10-01 14:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287620532 20brunoc https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287620818 The nursery represents how technology is beginning to take over our lives, and even replacing the simple actions that people once couldn't imagine not doing, such as raising their children.
“That sounds dreadful! Would I have to tie my own shoes instead of letting the
shoe tier do it? And brush my own teeth and comb my hair and give myself a bath?” (9).]]> 2018-10-01 14:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287620818 20brunoc https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287621192 The location that it takes place, shows the young violent thoughts of 9 and 10 year old's are very unexpected, the vast dangerous veldt with predators attacking and killing their parents.
"One of the original uses of these nurseries was so that we could
study the patterns left on the walls by the child’s mind, study at our leisure, and help
the child. In this case, however, the room has become a channel toward-destructive
thoughts, instead of a release away from them."(Bradbury 10)]]> 2018-10-01 14:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287621192 20phrommavanhc https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287622386 The father George discovers his old wallet in the Nursery covered in lion saliva and blood. 
"George Hadley walked through the singing glade and picked up something that
lay in the comer near where the lions had been. He walked slowly back to his wife.
“What is that?” she asked.
“An old wallet of mine,” he said.
He showed it to her. The smell of hot grass was on it and the smell of a lion. There
were drops of saliva on it, it bad been chewed, and there were blood smears on both
sides" (7).]]> 2018-10-01 14:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/287622386 20brunoc https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/288548796 2018-10-03 11:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/288548796 20brunoc https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/288551159 Descriptions of the nursery make the it seem more human than machine. This is later backed up as the children seem to care more for the Nursery then the parents themselves. This is evident by how the children breakdown when threatened with the "death" of the nursery. 
"'Don’t let them do it!” wailed Peter at the ceiling, as if he was talking to the house,
the nursery. “Don’t let Father kill everything.” He turned to his father. 'Oh, I hate you!'"
The children has seemingly replaced their parental figure with the Nursery.]]> 2018-10-03 11:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/288551159 20brunoc https://padlet.com/20phrommavanhc/woujz8te75nl/wish/288554605 The children's names 'Wendy' and 'Peter' are ironic because those are also the names of the characters in Peter Pan, and the nursery is practically 'Neverland' and they truly aren't living in reality. They aren't maturing at all in an intellectual or physical state due to the fact that they are living in an alternate world.
