LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE PEDESTRIAN


Bradbury's experience and feelings are what makes this story different.
 The story has a way of describing humanity, technology, and authority.
 Bradbury wrote his experience in a way for people to have a similar feeling to what he did that day.

The tone of the story is one of loneliness. Bradbury writes about how the people in the future lives are being isolated because of technology. Bradbury also mentions how his character Mr. Leonard Mead is lonely in life. Mr. Mead in the story tells the cop " I guess no one wanted me" when he answered "No" to if he was married. Bradbury explains how people in the future will be locked up in their homes in front of a bright box instead of having an actual one to one communication. Bradbury sees that technology in the future will be an enemy to communication and will contribute to more people's loneliness.

Leonard Mead who is the main character doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of humanity. He seems like a very uncommon person in his society. In his story, he is describing how people will be in the future from a time period where none of the things he describes exist. His character expresses concern for others. He even wears sneakers on his night walks so he doesn't disturb the dogs in their sleep.

The plot of the story takes place in the future where the main character goes on walks every evening on his own. During his long walks he doesn't see anyone, but one of his nightly strolls he stopped by a cop and then forced to get in the back of the car with no one in it. The car then drives off by itself. The cop had authority over Mr.Mead so he had no other option, but to follow orders. This experience was terrifying for Mr. Mead because he was arrested for doing absolutely nothing and then taken somewhere by an automative car.

Bradbury had a way of expressing his feelings in the story. He used a mixture of humanity, technology, and authority to describe what happened to him that night.
