What if you could own a room, a room where whatever you thought took form? It would, of course, not be real. But it would smell real, look real, and feel real. Would this be a room you would want?

Setting is an important part to any story whether it be fictional, sci-fi ,romance

Young people are in the process of developing into older and mature humans. Different authors use these young people to demonstrate the evolving of oneself. In Ray Bradbury’s The Veldt and Sandra Cisneros’ Eleven, the authors portray young people as striving to develop a sense of self.

Technology can be obsessive, and can cause people to become unfocused at what’s at hand. In this story, Bradbury uses a failing family unit, obsession of materials, and lack of discipline to show that not reprimanding

The overuse of technology in the Hadley’s home explores the theme of technology, family roles, and the nature of humans in regards to death. In the story the Hadley family, live in the HappyLife Home, which is filled

On the most basic level, “The Veldt” is about a family going through the typical problems that arise in family life. George and Lydia are parents who spoil their children, and then try to discipline them by taking away the toys they originally spoiled them with. In response, Wendy and Peter begin to hate their parents. The difference between the Hadleys and a real family is that the Hadley children’s toys are much more powerful than the toys that children usually play with. Eventually, the children’s

In the story “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury the parents of George and Lydia buy a house with technology that does their work for them. Inside the house there is a room called the nursery which is a vr room capable of creating anything. The parents lose touch with the kids because they are always in the room and they set no limits.
