LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE PEDESTRIAN
"The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury is a short story about Mr Leonard Mead experiencing how the authority is so used to people sitting watching TV in their homes at night. He is also feeling the effects of technology its making everyone and their homes at the darkest night look like a cemetery with grey phantoms floating about and flickers of lights flashing on curtain windows. The main and only characters tone is sad and very lonely with a dark dimly lit setting.
The tone is very lonely because the character Leonard Mead is the only real character introduced in this story. With only the police car to be only thing that confronts him. Also while he is walking on his regular night walk he has stated in his story that he has never came across another person on his walks in 8 years. The tone is also quite sad because he has no one to talk to and when the police car asks him if he has a wife he replied "Nobody wants me". Now there you can see that it hurts Mr Mead to even say that, but he does anyways and the police car says nothing.
Mr Leonard Mead is the main character in this short story and only has one interaction and thats with the police car that stops him while he is on his night walk. He is also the only character that is introduced as an actual person. Mr Mead is impacted by how the authorities treat him and how the technology has had a huge impact on them. He feels like nobody even realizes how technology has made everyone be dumb in a sense where they don't want to be around people and interact with them.
The main plot of this short story is that Mr Leonard Mead is out on a lonely night walk and is stopped by the only police car in the city at night and the police car takes him to his lit house. How Mr mead reacts to he police car about what he says to him and how calm he is about every question and how the police car reacts to his answers goes to show how much people are not used to that kind of behavior, and if Mr Mead would have responded differently the plot and the outcome would have came out differently. Mr.Mead then realises what technology has done to our society and how our people act and he knows it will only get worse if nothing is done to prevent it.
So really in conclusion of what Ray Bradbury has wrote, what he believes and my whole essay is that people and the relationship with technology has to be change. Because if we don't we will continue to be slaves to our own creation and nobody will have any sense of thinking for themselves. So take some time off your devices and spend time with friends and family, because you will never not get that chance again.
