Talk:The Veldt (short story)

Criticisms
The "Criticisms" section was poorly written, POV, unrelated to the story under discussion, uncited, and original research. I removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.81.50.169 (talk) 17:56, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Does it seem to anyone else like this article was a copy of a highschooler's essay? It doesn't describe the text at any time without making a point to note the use of metaphor, simile, or similar structure. Weird. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.177.137.202 (talk) 18:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I got that vibe too. It's not even a particularly good essay, either. -Asguard (talk) 06:48, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Funnily enough that's the exact feeling I got from it. I even commented so to a friend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.114.3.153 (talk) 21:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Be sure to note that Tommy Trash's remix, out soon, is another musical depiction of this short story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.38.226 (talk) 00:46, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Virtual Reality?
Virtual reality is just that, virtual. Nothing that happens is real. If the parents are really eaten by lions, doesn't that mean it is not VR? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pete71 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

I believe that the story line implied that the lions had gone past 3D/laser images and had become real. Rileycraig (talk) 16:33, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Wendy and Peter
Surely the Peter Pan names reference should also lead us to Barrie's own statement that "children are young, and innocent ... and heartless!" GeorgeTSLC (talk) 04:30, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
