According to "The Veldt" by Ray BradBury...


Answer to the First Question: Assuming the inflated value of $9 still applies to the time of this answer, today the Happylife Home System would have a price of $270,000 dollars, since:

30,000 x 9 = 270,000


Answer to the Second Question: There would be a market for this system as long as the governments approve of the risks implicated.

Anyone aware of the system's capabilites would not think twice about purchasing one - provided they could afford it -. The fact that a machine could do any chore of daily life, as well as provide simulated entertainment with no boundaries is simply irresistible to anyone. <u>The benefits are worth the price.</u>

The customers would not worry about the dangers at first; they would consider themselves responsible enough to manage a balanced life of luxuries.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer, normal text will be plot, underlined will be setting, bold will be character:

<u>It was the middle of the morning when she stepped out into the beautiful kingdom of ice. The animals watched as the sun started to set. The forest all around them grew black with night.</u> The king was a proud and powerful man. Even though he was only as tall as a dandelion, he commanded the entire room’s attention. Kenneth entered the dark cave and defeated the dragon. Now that he’d protected the city, he could finally marry the princess. The young boy stood his ground as the large snake attempted to attack him. He stepped to the side and used his gleaming sword to frighten it away. The boy was about 12 years old. He’d never been outside his village, but he dreamed of seeing distant kingdoms and learning about the world.

Which of the following is an example of an author’s purpose for using first-person point of view? A. to point out details the ch
Taya2010 [7]

The answer is:  A. to point out details the character would not notice.

The first-person point of view is a literary device that allows readers to get to know that character's thoughts, feelings and motives. Because the narrator refers to himself with words like <em>I, me, my </em>and <em>mine</em>, the story is seen through his or her eyes. As a consequence, it is not impartial and it may suggest features which are unknown or unnoticeable to the narrator. For example, they might not realize they have a psychological condition.
