My dad was born in the small Central American nation of El Salvador, more specifically in Anamoros located on the east side of the country. He lived in the countryside so he often played with their animals, spent most of his childhood swimming in the rivers or playing soccer with his friends, and would frequently hang out with his grandparents in the afternoons. In 1980, when he was about 12 years old that all began to change, he and all those around him needed to be more cautious about their surroundings.

El Salvador’s earliest settlers were the Pipil Indians, who resembled the Aztecs, and dominated the landscape. San Salvador the capital the was established by Spanish explorers and would remain the capital of the country.

The history of El Salvador and the years of unrest led to the US help the country to establish it political structure.

The story focuses on a piece of technology known as the nursey which create virtual scenery for the kids, but the parents begin to suspect something wrong is going on with it. Ray Bradbury does a fantastic job of conveying the sense of detachment of the family due to the presence of the nursey and the house’s technology. The Veldt does good job of satirizing technology and its consequence on family interaction or human interaction in general.

This caused Mao to change his view on population and come up with the slogan “Long, Late, and Few.” The idea of the slogan was for couples to marry late, wait a long time before having children, and to only have a few children.

Paraguay, surrounded by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest.
