Mr. Fisher got us to read a story called the Veldt. If you haven’t read the Veldt it is about this family in the future that lives in a house that does everything they tell it to do. This house has a nursery in it but it isn’t the kind of nursery that has babies in it but it is almost like for the kids to play in. Since it is the future it is very high Tec. If you go into the nursery, what you think of is what it will appear to be. Almost as if you were there in that place. 3D kind of way but more real like as if you could smell the scent of that place and fell what was in it. But the mane point is that the kids were going in there and turning it into a veldt witch means a grass land with lions, zebras, giraffes and all of those wild things that could kill them. When the parents find out what they are doing in there they tell them to stop. The kids break in and are still in the veldt. As the parents are sleeping one night they here the kids scream. When they go downstairs to see what happened in the veldt. As they get in there the door closes. What was really happening to the kids was they were trying to teach them to kill the parents. The kids sit in the hallway watching their parents get ripped to shreds by the lions.
I think that if you want something you shouldn’t always get it because what is the use for buying something that you don’t need it will be spending money that you don’t have to spend. I also think if Adults don’t want to spend money on something like a bike for there kid when they are young they should buy them a cheap one and try to let the kids know that what they want isn’t what they always will get. The case in the story was that the parents let their kids have what they wanted and it went a little too over board when they tried to stop it.
If kids want everything they see and if the guardian of that child or children gives them what they want, I think that those kids won’t be very wanted when they are older. When the kids are older they will be stuck up and most likely bossy. Also if you give the kids and sometime adults what they want then they will think that they have control over you. Sometimes you have to stop giving stuff up and take more control (as in power). And what the parents did was let there kids do what they wanted and when they tryed to stop it the kids already new they had the power to keep getting what they wanted.
Relationship this one of the most important things that a family can have. in the story the kids and the family don’t have a good relationship because of the house witch wants to do everything witch takes the parents good. Like how the house ties the kids shoes, baths them, feeds them, and takes them around the house in the air tubes. The only people and things that had a relationship were the kids together and the house. But the parents didn’t like the house so they wanted to move out. And that is were the kids put a stop to it and took charge of the house and parents.
