Today, we read "The Veldt" on page 115 or 100 (new edition or old edition). Please answer questions 3, 4, and 5 from the new edition of the text. The questions are as follows:
3. Reread the story locating three details that suggest a futuristic setting. How does this setting influence the characters' lives?
4. Describe the goals and motivations of Peter and Wendy. What will they likely do with David McClean? Why?
5. What foreshadowing is there of George and Lydia's fate? Give examples of ways in which they raise their children badly.
Tomorrow, you will have a small quiz on using apostrophes and recognizing nouns. Also, you will have the small quiz on vocabulary that we did not have on Monday. Here are the words:
finesse, fictitious, ambiguous, animosity, hideous, elicit, chagrin.
