The Veldt And The Fun They Had

Robots can effect employment in a negative way,as said by the author Kelly “It may be hard to believe… 70 percent of today’s occupation will likewise be replaced by automation...even you will have your job taken away by machines”(Kelly Page.300), this quote comes to show the negative aspect of robots taking over the world in the near

In “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, the parents are at fault for their deaths because they let their children use technology too much. One of the big problems in The Veldt is the damage that technology caused for the kids. According to, thejoint.com, “more and more children are experiencing eye strain from staring at a screen for too long. This can lead to blurry vision, eye fatigue, focus issues, and even double vision,” in the story Wendy and Peter were exposed to so much technology that not just their minds were affected but also probably their health. Also, Roogirl.com suggested that, “people are not only dependent on technology they are also addicted to it. Studies have shown that when cell phones are taken away subjects heard or felt fathom vibrations, continuously reached for phones that weren’t there and became fidgety and restless.” When Peter and Wendy were told to take a break from the nursery they

The stories we read in class had a lot of distinct similarities in each story. One similarity I saw was; all the stories introduced their settings in the beginning. Also, all the stories explain some truths about the world we live in. For example, in The Lottery, this story shows the danger of blindly following traditions of the community was so used to playing the lottery, that it has become a normal habit for them not realizing the damage this “lottery” is causing them and the people who has to lose their life for it. Another example, in The Lottery, is when Mrs. Delacroix turned against her good friend Tessie by picking up the largest stone to kill her which shows that there are certain friends you may have and when certain situations happens, their true colors will show and they may not have been a true friend to begin with. Also, in Young Goodman Brown, along his spiritual journey he encountered people he knew already, but then those people started to act the total opposite of what Goodman thought of his friends. This shows that in life, not everything is what it seems, no matter how you see it. Another example is

In a world that continues to advance technologically machines titled “sociable robots” acquire life-like characteristics once exclusive to humans. They are able to express artificial emotions that seem real to the user. In “Alone Together” by Sherry Turkle we see how sociable robots interact with children. They begin to feel emotions that were once exclusive to human interaction. In the narrative “An Army of One: Me” by Jean Twenge we see how prominent the generation gap is. Those under the age of thirty-five tend to focus more on themselves and making sure they feel worthy. Twenge appropriately titles this generation as “Generation Me,” highlighting the fact that boosts of “self-esteem” leads to a rise in individualistic focus. Parents expose their children to toys that industries manufacture to fill the emotional needs children have at a young age. This consequently decreases the need for human interaction. As technology develops and become more “alive,” researchers are able to find what children desire and are able to give those desires to them in a toy. These new toys shape how children think and grow, directly affecting them for their entire lives. By changing the notions of aliveness, sociable robots “cultivate” behaviors representative of Generation Me by manipulating values important to one’s well-being through their expression of life-like emotions and behaviors.

How can there be similar themes in different books? Themes can be found in every story. If one says ignorance is bliss, or spirituality vs. science, these are all themes. Correspondingly, acceptance is a theme that has always been used. However, this word has not only been used for texts it has been used everywhere, from books to relations to even movies. To put it differently, ambition is getting what you want, this is seen often in stories. This word makes people think what their needs are and what their wants are. Furthermore, themes are generally made when you feel like you have seen the movie or read that book, however you have just watched the movie which has similar themes in it. There are many themes in one story. The themes of spirituality

My group read two books that shared a common theme. The two books were The Giving Tree and 14 Cows for America. The two books’ theme was giving when someone is in need. The books’ ways of teaching the theme is similar and different. Here are some similarities and differences.

These two stories contain themes that are different as well as themes that are the same. The tones in these stories overlap in a way. These overlapping tones are:

There are similarities and differences between the ways the authors use dynamic characters and the conflicts they experience to develop a satisfying conclusion. In the story “Aaron’s Gift” he really wanted to join a gang,but he had to bring the pigeon to get in but they try to kill the bird, so Aaron fought the boys and the bird flew away,and he came home betup and his grandmother thanked him for the birthday gift.In the “Egypt game” the 6 kids loved to play a game in the professors shed,but everyone thinks he is a bad person,then some man tries to take one of the kids -- April -- and the other kid Marshel is frozen in fear,--out of know where someone yeled help! help! help! It was the professor he saved April.

Among the similarities is the way they present the theme. “Hunger” by Richard Wright uses a personal story about how his

There are short stories out in the literary universe that have the same plots but the themes are different. In this case the setting and the plots are different but the themes are the same. Although Jacob’s Monkey’s paw and Cornell’s Father’s Day have different plots they still have similar themes. The short story Monkey’s paw has a couple of teaching points, the main one that connects the short story to Father’s Day is characters trying to change fate.

Books have comparable plots and unrelatable plots. It really just depends on your perspective. You could look at “The Dog of Pompeii” by Louis Untermeyer as a sweet dog helping his blind owner view the world with his heart, or one frightened dog wondering if he could save his owner from a destructive volcano. In “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me” by Maya Angelou, you could see a brave person only scared of fear itself, or someone showing off that they are not scared of anything. At the same time, “The Dog of Pompeii” and “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me” divide into two themes, but the share one whole one!

How do these two stories share a theme? Well, look at the differences between the two stories, first “The Stolen Party” the poor girl was invited to

In the short story “ The Veldt” the Hadley’s live in the futuristic “Happylife” home where the house does everything for them. Meanwhile in the modern world, a scientist in Switzerland has invented two devices that could reverse paralysis. Technology is advancing fast as society is trying to reverse paralysis, which may be a blessing or a detriment to the world, similar to the innovations in the short story “ The Veldt”.

Stories are the same in many ways, although, one reads them for their differences and the differences are what matters. The two short stories, “Two Kinds” and “Catch the Moon” are polar opposites and exactly the same simultaneously. Their cultures are extremely different but those differences are what make the theme for the stories, which is to overcome a struggle in life you have to be devoted to overcoming it, applicable the same way The short story “Catch the Moon” has a theme that is impacted by its surroundings and cultural setting. “Catch the Moon” is about a boy named Louis who goes through the tragedy along with his father of his mother dying.

There is a shared theme in the two texts, "Boy's Life", and "Emancipation: A Life Fable" I believe that the theme of both texts is, "taking a chance can be rewarding" I think this is the theme in both texts because in both stories, something good or rewarding can happen to the main character.
