Another simile Ray Bradbury uses in The Veldt is when the children return from the Plastic Carnival. “Wendy and Peter were coming in the front door, cheeks like peppermint candy, I was like bright blue Agate marbles, a smell of ozone on their jumpers from their trip in the helicopter.” He uses this to develop the innocence of the children on the outside, to later show the darkness growing in the children.

Horning terms are also apparent in the book Goodnight Moon. There is constant repetition throughout the text as the rabbit says goodnight to everyone and everything in his room before he falls asleep. The setting is also repetitive, each page goes back and forth between a 2 spread colorful page of the Rabbit’s room and then to a black and white page displaying a picture of what the rabbit is saying goodnight to.

Another Instance of the good mood that seems to radiate from the holiday, is the bakery in town. All of the families who are too poor to cook food at their own homes take a dish to the bakery to heat it up, and though the food is meager,

When Tristan took ownership of the paw, all wishes were renewed. This was proven by the finger curling up again. The first wish Tristan made was to see if it would work, and it was to see if his parents could get back together from their divorce.
