"The Velt" is about a futuristic
world and how a regular family lives in it. One day the parents where asking
why did the kids spent so much time in the nursery. In the nursery everything
that the kids thought of will become true in the 3 dimensional walls. When
Lydia and Gorge, the parents, entered the room the only thing they could see
was an Africa savanna with lions far away. Lydia realized that the lions where
eating something but they don't know what. Latter that day Gorge turned off the
electronic things in the house, including the nursery. The kids got really
angry. Gorge turned on the nursery for a little while and the kids went in it.
After that the children started to call their parents to come to the nursery.
When Gorge and Lydia entered the nursery the kids locked them inside. Finally
there was yelling onside the nursery and you could infer that the parents where
eaten by the lions.
A very interesting quote is when Gorge
says "But nothing's too good for our children,"
This caught my attention because this shows us that
children are too accustomed to get what they want that nothing is too good
for them. Also now days kids don’t even say thank you to they parents because
they think that it’s normal that they receive this many amount of presents.
Other quote
I found was when Lydia said, "That's just it. I feel
like I don't belong here. The house is wife and mother now, and nursemaid. Can
I compete with an African veldt?” This shows us that technology has become such
a big part of our life that we don’t ask our friend or family for advice, we
ask the Internet. Because of this kids are learning that if you are in trouble
ask your computer or the internet and that could create conflict at home.
