Here’s another post for my English class guys. I had
to read The Veldt by Ray Bradbury and
all I have to say is what? I read this excerpt for class and thought I would
understand what it had to do with but as I began to read it, I began to get
lost in the reading. At first I believed it was going to be an excerpt about a
happy married couple named George and Lydia Hadley who are discussing their
children’s nursery. I was under the impression that their two children were
around the age of one to two. As you read on you find out that the nursery is
no ordinary nursery nut instead a high tech thought projector of some sorts.
From what I gathered, this room is made of crystalline structures that
illustrate whatever the subject is imagining. The two parents enter the “imaginarium”
as I call it and get to see what it is that their children are thinking about. As
they enter the room they see that their children spend a lot of their time
imagining and playing in Africa. They not only see the scenery but also get to
see the violence and hostility that their children imagine. They not only see
the pride of lions eating their prey of the day. Seeing this, the two parents
become alarmed and worried, call upon their trusted psychologist to analyze the
situation. After analyzing the room he suggested that the children be given a
break from the room. In the end it turns out that the children made the room
come to life, and eat their parents. I got so lost in the reading of this story
that I really stopped paying attention. Well I hope you enjoyed this blog guys.
