I have to write a character/theme analysis for the character of George in "The Veldt." It's supposed to be two paragraphs.

Ray Bradbury's short story from 'The Illustrated Man' - I have to connect the 2 ideas and somehow make this theme represented throughout the character.

    In the first paragraph, why don't you write about the ways in which George seems to be a good parent, then in the second paragraph the ways in which, finally, he was not. That's pretty concise and it concerns one of the main themes of this short story.
