Response To The Veldt

    The theme "more is not always better" means that just because you have more stuff in your life, doesn't mean it is better. In The Veldt, the family moves into a home that does everything for them, and the parents feel like they aren't needed, the children are spoiled, and they love the house more than there parents.
    The quote, "That sounds dreadful! Would I have to tie my own shoe instead of letting the shoe tier do it? And brush my own teeth and comb my hair and give myself a bath?" makes me think that the kids are spoiled, and will never know how to do things on their own. They have grown dependent on the house and they think ththey can't live without it.
