The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury was first published in 1951. It’s a collection of very descriptive science fiction stories.

“The Rocket” shows us that if you want to be a good father you must give up something to please your children. Mr. Bodoni is a poor father. He has a lot of patience with his children and loves them very much to make the Mars hologram and the fake ship he built. It was his life long dream to fly on a rocket to Mars. He had finally saved up enough money to go there but he decides to make his whole family happy and not just him. One example is when the father gives up his chance to go to Mars and lets the family choose even though it’s the father’s dream. Another example would be to buy the model rocket with the money he had saved over the years.
“The Veldt” can show us numerous lessons. ”The Veldt” is about a family that lives in a futuristic “happy home”. The home does everything for them.

The children took advantage of their parents because the parents always gave in. The man lesson I think that is in this story is that no matter if you love your children you can not let them walk all over you. Another example of this is in the end when the father is going to turn off the nursery; he allows the children five more minutes to say “good bye”.
