How does Bradbury describe the physical appearance of Peter and Wendy when they return home in the evening? How does their physical description contrast with what we know about their mental activities?

He describes the appearance of Peter and Wendy in a very angelic and innocent way, but this contrasts with their mental activities, because we know that they are obsessed and psychologically distorted, without any angelic and innocent thinking.

Explanation:

Although you have not presented the text to which this question refers, we can consider, through the context of the question, that you are referring to "The Veldt," a short story written by Bradbury, which shows a highly technological house that manages to make the children Peter and Wendy completely obsessed with her and everything she is capable of doing. Peter and Wendy become so dependent and amazed by the house that they start showing signs of psychological disturbance, becoming violent and dangerous children, even going so far as to murder their own parents when they considered leaving the house. This mental condition of these children is completely contrasting with the angelic and innocent appearance they present, since the author describes them as children with "cheeks like mints, eyes like brilliant blue agate marbles."

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.
