The Veldt

Children may not like their parents. They may think they are bossy or mean , but I don't think that children would want to kill their parents. Why would they? What force drives them to do it? About three hundred children kill their parents every year. That may not be a lot but in four years that is over a thousand parents dead.

In the book The Veldt two children get upset with their parents and kill them. The parents own a smart house but feel as if they need too shut down the house and take a break. The children are stunned. They like an automatic shoe-tier, but are horrified at the thought of tying their own shoes. The children lock their parents in a room with lions killing them.

What? Killing your parents over having to tie shoes is crazy! I tie my own shoes and don't want to kill my parents over it. The room had this mind scanner that projected images of thought. The children made images of lions real to kill their parents. The children only needed their parents for love and comfort. When they realized they did not want those anymore, they eliminated the parents. Smart houses exist, where if you are late from work you could call it and say , "Curtains close" and they will close. If we are not careful, we will have advanced too far in technology, and kids will realize that they may no longer need their parents.
