The Veldt is a book written by Ray Bradbury. the book starts by introducing the world or, what we think is the world. The story is set in an advanced house with a nursery, able to bring the children anywhere they want. Next, we are introduced to the children, (the villains of the story). The parents attempt to confront them about the nursery the children say they don't know anything. Finally the parents invite a phyciatrist over and says the children's behavior is alarming  and recommends the parents shut down the nursery, they oblige and, the children rebel, killing the parents.

 

 

The Veldt by Ray Bradbury is about two parents who got a “Happy-Life Home” to make their life easier. They also bought a nursery for their children The nursery turns your thoughts into images and smells and sensations.When the parents found out that the children thought of a blazing hot African veldt they knew something was wrong. They called a psychologist to determine what they should do. He determines that this is unhealthy  and suggests the parents should turn off the nursery. The problem is, the children love the nursery more than their parents and end up killing them to make sure the nursery stays on. The ironic part is, they killed them with the lions from the African veldt inside the nursery.

 

The story foreshadows something so strong. The machines and kids’ affection for them. The way the story is folded out,. Mr Hadley had found an old wallet with drops of saliva and smeared blood. (11) It’s all so strong.  Mr Mclean leaned down and pick up a bloody scarf. (17) When you finish the story,  you realize that parts in the story where just little bits of what really happens.

 

In The Veldt, a lot of good things turn to bad things. Just like a utopia turns into a dystopia. George and Lydia Hadley bought a  30,000 dollar house. They later built a nursery for their children which later became the children's parents. The parents tried to shut it off but gave the children one more minute to play which led to the parents death.

 

 Lois lowry wrote the book The Giver about a 12 named Jonas, who wants to change his community’s rules by breaking them. He wants there to be love and color. He doesn’t want to be the receiver, so he runs away to avoid this job and to save his “brother’’, Gabriel, from releasing.
