Are Kids Responsible For The Parent's Death?

326 Words2 Pages

Claim: In this story I believe the Kids are responsible for the parents death because, they got way over reactive and they were “getting back” their parents when they said “I think we should shut down the nursery. Which made the kids really mad. Example #1 I think this because, In the story it said that, when Wendy’s and Peter’s parents called them for dinner, (of course they were in the nursery) They said “we’ll be right there” so their parents were waiting for them and they never came. This began to develop towards the beginning of the story. Example #2 (Quote) “They ran into the nursery. The veldtland was empty save for the lions waiting, looking at them. "Peter, Wendy?" The door slammed. "Wendy,

  • Ray Bradberry's Foreshadowing Of Nursery

    172 Words  | 1 Pages

    Bradbury uses the foreshadowing of the name nursery, which is supposed to be a place for children, to make the reader believe that something bad is going to happen to the family. The nursery in the story is a futuristic room that plays what you want it to play just from mind control. This technology takes control of the family in the story this is because Bradberry wants to show that families need to bond, rather than indulge in material possessions. For example, the foreshadowing of the bloody items in the nursery revels how the family is going to get destroyed if they don’t stop the technology from taking control of their lives. In the story Wendy and Peter are so evolved into the nursery, consequently they forget that family should be held

    The children treat the nursery as if it is alive, and this addiction to the nursery causes them to disobey their parents. Lydia and George make the decision to shut the nursery down. Peter threatens back with, “I don’t think you’d better consider it anymore, Father.” George responds with how he will not be threatened by his own son, but Peter doesn’t listen and strolls off into the nursery anyways. Since the children have been spoiled by this technology, when it is taken away, they do not know how to react and accept this change.

    His actions influenced his children’s personalities by making them believe that everything was theirs, and that if they asked, they could have it. The next mistakes George Hadley made were denying the children a trip to New York (because they were too young) and (in a rare show of discipline) locking the nursery door. Now, this would come as a big shock for Peter and Wendy (the children) - remember, their parents had not denied them anything up until this point - and they would be EXTREMELY offended - offended enough to wish death on their own parents. This is where the nursery comes in. It used to have all the classic children’s fairy tales swimming through it, from Alice to Aladdin, but now it is stuck on one scene, in one place.

    I think that the people responsible for the blueman’s death are his parents. The fact that the blueman’s parents were never there for him made a huge impact on his life and ultimately his death. Because never had his parents in his life to teach him responsibility, he irresponsibly drove on a rainy day and trusted a stranger to give him the right medicine, and kept taking more when he saw the side effects as said on page 24 paragraph 2. His father also pulled him out of school and that also prevented any chance of the blue man learning academically. Therefore, the jobs available were decreased and he was forced to join the freak show.

    In this short story and in the film Wendy and Peter do not trust their parents and wish to never grow up. Additionally, the kids' names can also be seen as foreshadowing for the ending of the story. Furthermore, it is obvious that the parents strive on giving their kids everything they could need or want, but the house has turned into the children's “mother and father, far more important in their lives than their real parents” (Bradbury 262). Calling the house the children's mother and father is personification as the house has turned into a human. Throughout the story, the house

In “Barn Burning”, the father was shot because the son had told the barn owner what his father had planned to do. But they all were ok with losing their parents because it meant they didn't have to take their orders

    This action of leniency in the discipline of the children, followed by the death of the parents, shows that the author thinks that parents need to be strict and stick with it, or there will be consequences that follow. “... he would reach back with his non-controlling hand and swat at her affectionately, and yesterday they’d shared a good laugh when he’d accidentally knocked off her glasses. (Saunders). This action retold by the mother shows that “well loved” kids, may actually be spoiled kids. The mother had an unrealistic ideology of how kids should be raised because her childhood was so dark, so she could not see that her kids were being rude to her.

    “Oh, They’ll be here directly” after being asked “where are your father and mother” i think that the kids/ lions killed the parents and hid them somewhere in the story. Overall, the best and most powerful craft move in “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury is foreshadowing because without it the parents death would have been completely unexpected and a complete surprise to the readers but the rest of the story would have been a lot more bland and boring. In life death doesn’t come completely unexpected there are warning signs and you kind of know when they are going to die. In the end foreshadowing was used to warn us about the parents death and make it like life in a
