The Veldt

Paragraph- The Veldt Theme In the short tier, The Veldt, written by Ray Bradbury reveals the odds by creating a machine that only allows children to withdraw emotionally from their pargonnts and their loss of innocence. Lydia and George Hedley live in a Happy invigoration home a technological marvel that automatically tends to their every train which dresses them, cooks the food, brushes their teeth, and even rocks them to sleep. The house also contains a high-tech greenhouse. The babys room turns into every scenery the children imagine about in that room.Children argon unremarkably ingenuous and silly. But in this story children lose their innocence gradually because they witness abandoned and alienation. The children feel abandoned by their parents when they were left in the maintenance of a technological baby sitter which led them to lose their innocence. WhenGeorge and Lydia cognise that there is something wrong with their way of life. George and Lydia are also perple xed that the nursery is stuck on an African setting, with lions in the distance, eating the dead carcass of what they arrogate to be an animal.There they also find recreations of their personal belongings, wondering why their children are so concerned with this scene of death. Therefore, they decide to call a psychologist. The headhunter evaluated that the children and he said to the parents that the children need treatment. Both of the children feel abandoned by their parents so they activated the room into a veldt where they imagine that they are looking for their missing parents because of the insufficient time their parents give them.In one heyday the psychiatrist says Youve let this room and this house replaces you and your wife in your childrens affections. This room is their mother and father, far more important in their lives than their touchable parents. In this story man is destroyed by their machines in 2 ways not only are George and Lydia were murdered by the nurs erys technology, but the childrens humanity is also destroyed. By identifying so closely with the nursery, the children run through become less than human.They feel no guilt, compunction or regret when their parents died, and it was clear that they have become as arctic and emotionless as the machinery that controls the nursery. Children often feel powerless against freehandeds and create plump out sceneries in their heads in which they have the power to conquer any adult who refuses to give them what they want. George triggers these fantasies in Peter and Wendy when he threatens them to turn off the nursery. The children are used to getting their take way, and they become very angry when they cannot have what they want and the cycle of revenge starts in which they end up murdering their own parents.When David McClean the psychiatrist asked the children where their parents are when they were on their way to New York it says in the story The children looked up and smiled. Oh, t heyll be here directly. Even though they were the ones who killed their parents, they feel no emotions at all. In conclusion people would say that children are usually harmless and full of life but in the story The veldt because they felt abandoned by their parents and because of alienation Peter and Wendy gradually wooly their innocence.
