The children's favorite landscape depicts a blazing African savannah with deadly animals.
Explanation:
I think Bradbury chose this landscape as a reflection of the children's violent minds. It shows what is really going on behind their innocent exterior and helps the reader understand a little what the children are thinking of without being overly obvious about it. It affects the reader because it sets an ominous mood that foreshadows a violent ending. With a happier setting, the mood would not imply impending doom and the outcome of the text would seem extremely abrupt.
*Hey! I hope this helps! If you need evidence you can put it when you explain what their favorite landscape is : )*
You could use evidence from the National Small Business Owners Association to give statistics on the effect. You can give an opinion of how you feel the government should handle the potential closing of many small businesses.
