What is an example of an allusion in Ray Bradbury's the Veldt?

Answer 1

He alluded to Barrie's "Peter Pan."

Answer 2

Yes, I know, because Wendy and Peter in Peter Pan lived in Neverland where there were no parents and the nursery kind of resembled Neverland, right? I'm just concerned my teacher will think that it's not plausible for an eighth grader to come up with that on their own. I was wondering if there were any others that seem more likely for my age?

Answer 3

I checked the internet and found several sites explaining that illusion.
