...themselves in a character's perspective. It is even more difficult to comprehend without an aid of some sort but the short story The Veldt is different. The automated home the Hadley family live in does all of their everyday chores for them. In The Veldt, Ray Bradbury utilizes descriptive language and symbolism to express the experiences of living in the Happylife home. The language used creates vivid, lifelike images in the reader's mind that immerses them into an unrealistic world. Some other readers who analyze this story feel imagery is applied to the story and plays along with descriptive language. Symbolism is a heavy topic in this tale.

...Throughout both short stories it is evident that the character’s lack freedom. Bradbury uses symbolises to identify this further. In ‘The Veldt’, every time the parents enter the nursery, lions in the African veldt appear. Lions symbolise pride and power. This may be the house’s way of showing it has more power than they do and can control them. Causing them to have a lack of freedom. When the parents enter the nursery the lions which are supposedly fake, chase them to scare them off which can be the houses way of showing them that it does not need them to survive. This becomes true as the children grow to love the house so much that they no longer feel there is use for their parents, leaving the house with all the power, allowing it to stay...
