Genre A category of literary work Short Story – Science Fiction Movies can fall into genres

Foreshadowing Giving hints of what is to come later in the story As we read “The Veldt”, look for clues from the nursery that show what may happen in the end.

Theme What does Bradbury want us to learn or gain from reading his story. Pay attention to the use of technology and the outcome of relying too heavily on technology.

Allusion A reference in literature to something that is well-known. This does not indicate that the story is about that reference, it just simply jogs the reader’s memory with that idea. The children’s names are Wendy and Peter. Peter Pan

Setting PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE SETTING! Be able to describe the house and the nursery. What is so special about both? How does this contribute to the genre of science-fiction?
