I try to not remember The Veldt but I still liked it as a good read. I also hated Harrison Bergeron but I think I was suppose to?

I think Harrison Bergeron was just bad.

Honestly neither The Veldt nor All Summer in a Day shocked me much at all as a kid and in retrospect that says a LOT about my childhood.
