Why do you think Lydia wants to shut off the house? At this stage in the story, what do you think will be the children's (Peter and Wendy) reaction to this idea?

She decides to close the house because she believes that the house is doing harm to her children and believes that the parents cannot compete with the efficiency of the house.

Children will not react well to this decision.

Explanation:

This question is related to the short story "The Veldt" that tells about a family that moves to a technologically technological home that efficiently does all the tasks that someone might need, including the simplest ones like tying shoes and bathing children .

As the house is highly self-sufficient and computerized, the children's parents are not concerned with educating them or meeting their needs, since the house takes care of that. Children love the home, but they are growing up rude and with some symptoms of psychological problems which makes parents worry. The mother, Lydia, decides to close the house and move to a common house, because she is concerned about the children's situation. However, children love the house and will not react calmly, as shown at the end of the short story.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
