daily chores. It includes a nursery that will respond to whatever a person thinks. In this short story, Bradbury suggests of technology is reaching a point where it is no longer helpful, but harmful. This theme is portrayed through Bradbury’s use of stylistic devices, and character. Bradbury’s style throughout his story aids in portraying his theme of technology’s harmful effects. Irony is a one of the stylistic devices that he uses. When a person thinks of a nursery, he pictures a safe, happy

the parents in the nursery to become the lions tasty lunch. Bradbury creates suspense through the use of sensory details and foreshadowing. One unusual day George and Lydia wander into their children’s nursery confused on the appearance of lions and vultures. The couple observes a pride of lions heading to the watering hole after finishing the lunch. The author describes the dead carcasses circling around the body. The reader can infer that things that happen in the nursery have to do with death

many instances, to represent to the consequences of letting children run wild. In “The Veldt”, nursery is used to symbolize the leader of the kids. The parents are absent in the kid's life so they imagine having a leader and a constant in their lives. ”They live for the nursery.” as state by the text (Bradbury 3). The kids love the nursery as if it were their parents. Wendy and Peter have replaced the nursery as George and Lydia. Another example of symbolism used by Bradbury is in the African lions.

The showing of how the nursery is so detailed in the quotes exemplifies the importance of this

In the story, he had created a nursery where it became more important than the kids than their family proving that it could take over our precious lives. Though many people think technology is the future of the world, I am on the side where Ray Bradbury’s vision of the future is true and

Have you ever thought how much of your life is distracted and even controlled by technology? Ray Bradbury emphasizes how this debilitating distraction can manifest in the future by writing about it in the “The Veldt.” Bradbury uses imagery and characterization to allude to the fact that the use of tech as a supplementary parenting technique can cause child development problems in many forms. In the beginning of the story, Bradbury uses imagery like “…you could feel the prickling fur on your skin…your

useless, lazy and boring. He makes up houses that serve as ‘‘wife and mother now and nursemaid.’’ (p.119). He really wants us to see that technology, abused, is actually not as good as everyone would imagine. When the Hadleys buy the house and the nursery, they actually buy their own ticket to death. They might not know it, but it’s true. Bradbury warns us that children should never be exposed to that kind of technology because of the outcome it can have

The beginning of the story foreshadows this: “George, I wish you’d look at the nursery.” “What’s wrong with it?” “I don’t know.” “I just want you to look at it, is all, or call a psychologist in to look at it.”

According to the American Psychology Association, greater life satisfaction has been directly correlated to having less material possessions. The proven fact certainly doesn’t influence the parents who buy their children everything they could imagine-and more. Ray Bradbury, a critic of parents pampering children, presents this common parenting fault in his short story The Veldt. George and Lydia Hadley have two kids and all they’ve ever done is spoil those kids endlessly. What they don’t realize
