SO THIS GUY GOES FOR A WALK

Ray Bradbury wrote “The Pedestrian” because he shows how all televisions at 2053 would be turned on and how the streets were always empty after 8. He gets pulled over by a police man and gets questioned in why he’s walking the streets. He asks the questions and the police man doesn’t believe in what he’s being told. The fact that walking wasn’t “normal” in the society makes you in disbelief that it could actually happen. Mr. Mead seems cool when he gets pulled over because he knows he was telling the truth. Although the officer didn’t believe him, Mr. Mead didn’t deny it. The plot of the story was so realistic because of the details Bradbury inserted to make you feel present. He also describes the society we are growing to become. That makes the plot scary.
