The story of "The Veldt"‚ is an interesting story which concerns the issue of how modern technology can destroy the typical united family. In my personal opinion‚ this story has the most absolute lack of any characterization‚ and is all about how regular children can destroy‚ or even kill their whole family without any hesitation or misery. The story begins with the mother of the family‚ who has quite a generic name. We are given no information of the characters background and how they came to the

She counteracts this with a women’s intelligence compared to her beauty and vanity‚ and what a woman should be. She explores the idea

These two paintings focus on Jesus Christ‚ his humanity and his divinity. I chose them because they represent Jesus’ fragile humanity through his infancy and death. These paintings struck me as different from the other religious art I had seen because it stresses humanity without
