let me walk you through the pedestrian

In the pedestrian by Bradbury, he expresses his experiences and feelings throughout the story. He wrote this story in the 1900's when we weren't as advanced as we are now (technology wise). He foreshadows the future in his writing when he describes the tv, the lonely streets, and only one cop car. The way in which he writes helps us to better understand the plot, tone, and character. 

A plot tells the reader with specific details what occurred in a writing. In this case the plot starts with a man going for a walk. When Bradbury tells us his experience he gives us such great detail to help us better picture the situation in the story. He describes the way in which how he was seeing everything and what he was thinking about when he saw these things. Such as what he was thinking when the police told him to stop and put his hands up, we knew what he was thinking as if we were inside his mind.

The tone of this story is more like a mysterious vibe. He describes how lonely it is out and how no one is around. The way in which he describes how the streets are quiet. It gives us a sense of how the community and atmosphere around him aren't quite as we would expect during the time in which he wrote this story. But at the same time we can relate. Nowadays if you go for a walk you will see (like Bradbury described) lights through windows and its most likely from a tv. This story was written a long time ago but it was written about the future so in some case was he kind of predicting the future that we have come to know? 

To better help us understand character he tells us how the police are walking and driving around. There is only one police car in this story but the policeman who is driving around and stops Bradbury gives off a weird vibe. The way he just stops Bradbury as if it was bad to just walk around is very suspicious. When the cop does stop him and asks if he has a profession Bradbury answers that he does and that it is writing but the cop then continues to say that he doesn't have a profession as if saying that writing at this time period isn't considered a profession. This gives off a rude look to the cop for saying that.

In Bradbury's writing we can see how he influenced the way he wrote to hep us better understand his experience. Not only did he give good detail but also gave us a small entrance into the way he thought.
