The Veldt

Det kunne være noget med at teknologi er godt, men det kan også gøre skade. Eller også, at man ikke skal lave maskiner som skal kunne erstatte forældrenes omsorg over for børnene.

The veldt is a short story the genre is science fiction.It is written by Ray Bradbury in 1950,he was born in Usa in 1920,and is a famous science fictions author.The story takes place in a house called happy-life home.It is science fiction so it can not take place anywhere.We here about 4 characters living in the happy-life home which is a fully mechanical house and everything is done for the family.The parents have spent thirty thousand dollars on the house.
The father drinks and smokes too much,he is busy at his study room,he is bored no close contact with his children.He has been nervous for a while and takes a bit more sedative every night.The mother is sad and nervous she has nothing to do doesn't work,the house does all the thing she should be doing.She feels superfluous.(The parents are spoiled too).
The kids are spoiled they are 10 years old Wendy is the girl.Peter is the son he doesn't obey his father.Wants him dead for turning off the nusery and hates him.The kids are mean the doesnt listen to their parents,they live their life.
Tone humoristic,ironic,serious,threatned.Themes brave new world is not so brave after all.Friends/children a relationship with hate,future life,a lack of love between the parents and children.Message keep on being human,parents should try to be close to their children,dont let tv or computers take over as babysitters,mind over matter,their should be a balance in every daylife.The ending-the parents are destroyed the children wont accept the father's decision.The want to keep their machines.The children live their world of fiction.The children are not human in the end their parents are to blame.Compare to reality tv,generation gab og andre historier som du har læst.

Her er en ordentlig smøre jeg brugt det da jeg kom op i den for 2 år siden.

Arj, hvor er det flot!! Tusind tak! Er virkelig glad nu:) :) :)

hvordan gik det overhovedet med din eksamen så?

Jeg startede med at læse der hvor psykologen kommer ind i værelset og så startede jeg med at præsentere den øverste disposition indtil personerne og så tog jeg udgangspunkt i handlingen derfra.Jeg haede den tekst og den forekom mig dybt latterlig men heldigvis pga nervøsitet tog jeg den meget alvorlig så selv censor grinte.Jeg fik 10 og troede ikke det var sandt for det har jeg sgu aldrig fået før og får det sgu nok heller aldrig igen.Men jubi :-)

Den tekst var på b niveau hvad niveau går du på ?

på A-niveau... men vores lærer har virkelig været elendig, så vi har ikke lavet engelsk et helt år, kun snakket om hans lille nye datter...
jeg kan godt se mening i din analyse, nu, du siger det... min læsegruppe bliver nok rigtig glad imorgen:)

- skal jeg skrive hvordan det går med min eksamen? Skal op på tirsdag...

bliver mit snit højt nok, søger jeg ind på medicin... derfor er mine eksamener virkelig vigtige hehe:)

Vi havde en meget grundig engelsk lærer som altid kom selv når hun var syg og vi øvede os meget i prøve eksaminer i klassen og ingen slap før de havde prøvet det.Tro mig jeg kender også til dårlige lærer hvor jeg har måtte kæmpe for at holde min tålmodighed nede og kæmpe for at for gennemført mit ynglingsfag som er spansk.Held og lykke med eksamen.Jeg vil gerne høre resultatet venter spændt og pøj pøj herfra

Fik 10:) trak 'The Buddha of Suburbia' og de sagde, at det gik rigtig godt... men min oversættelse trak lidt ned..øv øv.. men er stadig glad:)

Ej hvor flot ;-).Tillykke og held og lykke med dine fremtidige studier.
