The “Veldt” written By Ray Bradbury has many craft moves. The craft moves that are most commonly used in the story and the ones that draw the reader in are dialogue‚ similes‚ and personification. These are all shown when the house that has a nursery in it makes the kids hopeless. The house does everything for the kids and they aren’t able to do any real world stuff after they got the house.

Throughout Fahrenheit 451‚ Ray Bradbury alludes to quotes that refer to something that
