He had no wife, no TV, nothing to keep him busy. Not once has he met someone on any of his walks. How the author describe that he would talk to the outer walls of the houses really proved the fact that there is no one there for him. I also liked how the author pointed out every little detail that was there to make it seem like Mr. Leonard was seeing all of those things, like the fireflies and the "invisible snow". Another thing I found interesting is that he wasn't asleep. Everyone around him was sleeping and he was going for a walk. My question is why didn't he walk in the morning where no one could accuse him of anything? Why was he so persistent on doing it then?]]> 2017-12-18 13:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216929720 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216929726 I feel like it took place on that one road throughout the story and the mood was very gray and sad. He was considered crazy because his level of creativeness were higher than others so he was considered crazy.]]> 2017-12-18 13:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216929726 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216929865 Something I thought was interesting was how the author used the setting as a way to show what was going on in the story. The author showed that people weren't usually outside. The highways were always empty. This helped convey  a sense of loneliness within the character.]]> 2017-12-18 13:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216929865 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216929901 The mood seemed very drab and quiet. I found it interesting that there was no more crime and that that the police car contained no actual police officer, but instead it was the car communicating the whole time. It's also odd how Leonard had never come across another human being while walking along. ]]> 2017-12-18 13:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216929901 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930002 ι тнσυgнт ιт ωαѕ ιηтєяєѕтιηg нσω ωнєη нє ωαѕ ωαℓкιηg ιт ωαѕ ѕσ ℓσηєℓу αη∂ тнєяє ωαѕ ησвσ∂у ση тнє ѕтяєєтѕ αη∂ нσω ιт ωαѕ ¢σℓ∂ αη∂ єνєяуσηє ωαѕ ѕℓєєριηg єχ¢єρт нιм ]]> 2017-12-18 13:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930002 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930011 2017-12-18 13:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930011 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930027 I think Ray Bradbury was showcasing the mood of loneliness and a thing I found interesting was that it says it does not matter which way he chose to go because he was lonely. His final decision was to just chose a path and that also shows how he made a life choice of choosing to be alone.]]> 2017-12-18 13:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930027 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930091 2017-12-18 13:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930091 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930151 I thought it was strange how it could be a city of 3 million and we only saw a police car and Mr.
Leonard Mead. Also it was strange how the police car just randomly showed up to him after so many years.]]> 2017-12-18 13:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930151 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930158 I found it interesting how the character liked/enjoyed
 the lonely mood and when no one was there. ]]> 2017-12-18 13:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930158 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930183 The author used a bleak and frightening image of dark houses in a November night. Ray Bradbury made the story more interesting by introducing a lonely police cruiser into the story, putting a mood of loneliness and a dark sort of feeling. Not only that but the fact that there were no houses with power or with shining yellow windows except for his shows that the world that he lives in was a lonely place with nobody to accompany him. Additionally, the flowers and grass growing on the concrete pathway also represents the huge lack of popularity in the city, which gives a frightening view to the reader.

People found it strange to walk out for fresh air when they have viewing screens and air conditioners. This shows the strangeness of being advanced, because a writer, a thinker like Leonard would be a person of research for regressive tendencies.

I found this weird until I searched "Regressive", from the "Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies". I found out Regressive means thinking or acting with a lower stage of intelligence, like for example an adult believing a child's dream that the world is perfect. If the police take him to the Psychiatric center it means that doing something just for the joy of it has now lost it's meaning, and is considered useless and is not approved of by the society.]]> 2017-12-18 13:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930419 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930435 I felt like the mood made the story really interesting because the world seemed kind of empty, which made the mood of the story kind of empty and dark. The author used the setting to convey the mood, which I found interesting. ]]> 2017-12-18 13:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930435 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930657 The mood was sort of dark and lonely. There was no one on the street which made the setting creepy. It seemed like humans abandoned the area and robots controlled the area. And it seemed like nothing had been taken care of in years so it makes the setting more empty and gloomy.]]> 2017-12-18 13:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930657 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930672 I found it strange that the car could do everything by itself and I also found it strange how he described the setting and where he was walking.  It is weird that after walking for 10 years he did not run into anybody else.

Normally, you can always see someone walking the streets here but there, apparently it was abnormal and now he had to be taken to the Psychiatric Center for Research on
Regressive Tendencies because he was just walking. I also found it weird that the story only talked about one police car for a city of 3 million and for the unnecessary use for them. Finally, I noticed on how behind Mr. Leonard Mead was on advanced technology because when the sound came from the machine, Mr. Mead was genuinely confused on who he was talking to. ]]> 2017-12-18 13:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930765 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930850 I thought it was kind of strange that Leonard was walking for years with nobody and there was nobody on the street for years. I also found I also found it weird that none of the houses on the street had lights on.]]> 2017-12-18 13:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216930850 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216931014 I also think that since there is no one in the police car how is he under arrest and how is the car physically talking if there is no one in the car! I just thought this was a little odd becase a car can not physically tell you to put your hands in the air .

If he saw that no one was in the car, then why didn't he just run away or something. It was weird that right when the car said where Leonard was going, he got in almost immediately. Does that mean that the Psychiatric Center was his home all along?]]> 2017-12-18 13:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216931749 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216934332 2017-12-18 13:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/216934332 23bh02591 https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/217111293 I found it strange that walking in the evening was no longer allowed, and that it was the police car that determined if someone committed a crime or not, instead of a real police officer. ]]> 2017-12-18 21:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_macaluso/19hvldkgeyy5/wish/217111293
