Savannah Neely October 3‚ 2013 The Haunted House As I stood‚ staring bleakly at the dilapidated house. Chills ran down my spine. I forgot my jacket‚ I thought to myself. The twojackets‚ three pairs of pants‚ 4 pairs of fuzzy socks‚ and boots could not keep me warm against the deathly cold. The walkway up to house were cracked. Weeds emerged out from these cracks. Briars were growing wildly in thick batches by the gate. The moonlight cast a

In Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Veldt” he portrays how disastrous it is to rely completely on technology. Intertwined with this are lessons of greed and inattention.

An example of imagery is when in the movie Atticus shoots the dog and Jem’s face shows that he was really surprised‚ when his dad shot the gun and killed the dog because he had no clue that he could do that. Another example
