In one of the stories of a distinguished writer, Ray Bradbury, The Veldt, shows how can technology can became human addicted leading them to make different type of decisions. This story is based on a family that lives in the future, they have their own smart house that make everything for them. In this house was a nursery center in which it shows your thoughts, if you wished Aladdin, Aladdin would appear. One day its mother was really worried because she realized that her kids were acting differently and weird. They noticed that they were playing too manny time on Africa, with lions, zebras, wild animals and they always hear some sort of familiar screams in that room. They asked a psychologist to help them, and he told them that they had to turn of the house, and live the real world. Parents did what they were told, they turn of the nursery, the house, but by a rare way the house star working again. Those familiar screams appeared again. Both parents got in the nursery room and lions apear again and suddenly the lions stop been a simulation, they became more and more real and doors were locked up.
One of the best things about Ray Bradbury is ´that he uses a lot of good imagery, he uses different types of descriptions; the way he describes its stories, the way he makes you feel like you are in the story, how he tells the plot, the characters, the setting…
´´ There was a green, lovely forest, a lovely river, a purple mountain,
high voices singing, and Rima, lovely and mysterious, lurking in the trees
with colorful flights of butterflies, like animated bouquets, lingering in
her long hair´´
Furthermore Ray Bradbury has a really good characterization system, during the story he makes different types of speeches, thoughts, effects, actions, looks like in this story.
"Oh, George!" She looked beyond him, at the nursery door. "Those lions
can't get out of there, can they?”
Here he is making a part of a worried and afraid woman, which she has not confidence in that nursery center.
