It can also be described as “What-if?” fiction where it usually involves a vision for the future. Authors often use this genre to comment on society or to explore alternative ways of seeing the future of humanity.

The author said that, if he hadn't become a writer, he would have been a magician. Bradbury also scored his first writing gig when he was still a teen.]]> 2022-05-23 16:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196177352 22lstahl https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196196435 Conflict: Man vs Technology
Rising Action: The police question Mead about his profession, why he is walking, and ask if he is married.
Climax: When the robotic police car opens the door and tells him to get inside the car.
Falling Action: The police told him they are taking him to the psychiatric center and they passed Leonard's house and he says "that's my house" but no one replied.
Resolution: The police are taking him to the psychiatric center.]]> 2022-05-23 16:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196196435 22lstahl https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196279320 The setting of "The Pedestrian" is described as dark, desolate, and misty as the protagonist goes on a walk on his lonesome. The image above is a great representation of that.]]> 2022-05-23 17:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196279320 22lstahl https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196300559 I chose this song to represent the mood because it represents loneliness. This song is about lonely people. This relates to "The Pedestrian" because Leonard Mead is always alone on his walks and in life because of how differently he thinks.]]> 2022-05-23 17:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196300559 22lstahl https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196307444 This GIF represents the protagonist, Leonard Mead. The GIF shows a man who is enjoying the downpour of the rain outside. This represents Mead well because he often enjoys the outdoors while everyone else does not, so he is alone in his joyfulness.]]> 2022-05-23 17:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2196307444 22lstahl https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2197744642 This video represents the theme "authority versus people." Authority seeks control. The central idea that Bradbury wants to communicate is when someone stands out in society, police/authority will take that someone out of society in order for the society to be equal.]]> 2022-05-24 13:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2197744642 22lstahl https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2197988360 The dark of night is the symbol I chose. It represents loneliness in its prime. Mead is a character that enjoys the nighttime as he walks the streets. He is alone, but he enjoys himself.

I think this passage is powerful because everyone experiences this in the cold. It makes one aware of their surroundings and loneliness. ]]> 2022-05-24 16:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2198006278 22lstahl https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2198014261 So many people are addicted to technology today. Phones, video games, social media, and so much more. In "The Pedestrian," the majority of society is glued to their television screens. That relates to society's struggle today.]]> 2022-05-24 16:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/22lstahl/a4k6tyg7m68tzzc5/wish/2198014261
