What are some examples of defamiliarization in "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury?

There are many examples of defamiliarization in Ray
Bradbury's short story "The Veldt." Some of them are as
follows.

a) "His wife paused...and watched the stove busy
humming to itself, making supper for
four."

The stove
here is some kind of high-tech gadget that cooks automatically; but isn't every stove a
gadget that "makes supper" for you? And don't even regular stoves hum to themselves?
Bradbury has forced us to look at stoves in a new
way.

b) "The
house lights followed her like a flock of
fireflies."

On
the face of it, Bradbury is comparing the house's automatic lighting system to a flock
of fireflies that surrounds and follows a person. On a deeper level, he is allowing us
to think about a flock of fireflies in a new way: that they are like an automatic
lighting system that follows you wherever you
go.

c) My
personal favorite: George says to David the psychologist: "I want facts, not feelings."
David
answers:

"My dear
George, a psychologist never saw a fact in his
life."

A great
new way of looking at psychologists: people who are not interested in facts, and who
take a hefty fee for their lack of interest!

　

d)
"The lions were finished with their red
feast."

This line
can be seen as being similar to example b. By comparing the lions' slobbering and
gnawing to a "feast," the author is making us think about what a human feast really is:
a bunch of people slobbering and gnawing at chunks of meat and other foods, just like
lions.
