That later on things will be forgotten that was once important before. For example  in the Pedestrian when Mr. Mead and the police were talking about there job. Mr. Mead states that he is a writer but then the police says that isn't a profession. A quote from the Pedestrian that is reminiscent to Fahrenheit 451 that Bradbury states is " one house in a entire city of houses were dark" (51). Bradbury is saying all they have on is there TV's and that all they do. This  is why it's so quit.Just like in Fahrenheit 451 because books are band and people are obsessed with the parlor walls.]]> 2019-04-09 12:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881471 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881548 Bradbury says in the text, "Walking, just walking, walking? Walking where? For what?" (50). I think this is reminiscent of Fahrenheit 451 because (in Fahrenheit 451)a guy got arrested for just always walking on the street. Everyone thought it was suspicious how he was always walking and never with anybody. Now in "The Pedestrian", when Leonard is put into a police car, because walking everyday is suspicious, he is questioned. ]]> 2019-04-09 12:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881548 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881631 Bradbury seems to have an obsession with death compared to laziness. He sees the parlors and viewing screens as poison. Ray Bradbury compared the houses of citizens to "tombs, ill lit by television light" only to show how brain dead the members of society truly are. In both F451 and The Pedestrian, society is shown as zombie-like creatures without understanding of the simple joys in life. ]]> 2019-04-09 12:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881631 mollyyy https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881683  Ray Bradbury clearly tries to get a message across to his readers. He wants them to know that if we keep looking at screens like we are, we'll regress into a mindless society that is slave to technology. Both stories are in the future, with a chilling setting. They both point out "regressive behaviors" -(51). reading and walking- that are normal today. TV screens are a big deal in both as well, as in the pedestrian, everyone is watching something: "'What's up tonight on Channel 4, Channel 7, Channel 9?'" (49). He was the sole mind in a world of empty heads, the only one who didn't watch his screen all day.]]> 2019-04-09 12:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881683 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881715 When Leonard gets caught walking by the police, they arrest him. As they drive "to the Psychiatric Center for Regressive Tendencies" (51) "they passed one house on one street and a moment later, one house in an entire city of houses that were dark, but this one particular house had all of its electric lights brightly lit, every window a loud yellow illumination, square and warm in the cool darkness. 'That's my house,' said Leonard Mead" (51). This quote reminds me of Fahrenheit 451 because, even though Montag was in a fire truck, this is the exact situation that happened to him when they pulled up to his house. Also, Clarisse's house is the only house in Montag's society that has its lights on.]]> 2019-04-09 12:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349881715 jessicasandor95 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349882012 Fahrenheit 451's dystopian setting contains many similarities to The Pedestrian's dystopian setting. Both are futuristic, odd, and very modernized and technological. In The Pedestrian, Mr. Mead was stopped by the police for simply taking a walk and "as he had expected, there was no one in the front seat, no one in the car at all"(51). The city didn't need many police cars or even a real human in the car because crime was unheard of. 
This is reminiscent of Fahrenheit 451 because of the way the police car was described. The vehicle was operated by a robot and it spoke to Mr. Mead through a microphone and speaker. It reminds me of the Mechanical Hound because it too was a robotic, technological creature. ]]> 2019-04-09 12:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349882012 reynoldstiller1 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349882221 Ray Bradbury's "The Pedestrian" and "Fahrenheit 451" are both very similar in what Bradbury was trying to teach through his writing. He writes both stories from future societies where technology has taken over the world. In "The Pedestrian" Leonard is walking and the narrator describes, "In ten years of walking by night or day, for thousands of miles, he had never met another person walking, not one in all that time" (49). Leonard's habit of walking is labeled as a "regressive tendency", which is very similar to Clarisse from "Fahrenheit 451" who was killed for being curious and going for walks. ]]> 2019-04-09 12:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349882221 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349883010 I believe that Ray Bradbury has a theme that he tries to show throughout these two stories. I believe that the theme is technology. He clearly tries to show us in both "The Pedestrian" and "Fahrenheit 451". Ray Bradbury tells us that "[Mr. Mead] was alone in his world of A.D. 2053, or as good as alone..."(47). I believe that this quote explains the similarity between the two stories because in Montag's world, everyone is taken over with technology, government, and many more things. This makes his world feel alone. Montag is the only person who isn't following the crowed. He has past that state of mine of where the rest of the world is brain washed. Mr. meads world is sort of the same. His world has been taken over by technology therefore it seem like no one is there. Making him feel all alone.]]> 2019-04-09 12:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349883010 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349883016 Bradbury elaborated, "Sudden gray phantoms seemed to manifest upon inner room was where a curtain was still undrawn against the night, or there were whisperings and murmurs where a window in a tomblike building was still open." (47). This is very similar to Farenheight 451 because this automated dehumanized society appears in both stories. The pedestrian is a prototype for Farenheight 451 I that he wanted to write his thoughts down in a way that also had a story behind it.]]> 2019-04-09 12:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349883016 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349883388 In the short story, the Pedestrian, Ray Bradbury uses the same sort of distopian future setting. He basically was showing how the future is going to be cold, hard, sterilized, lonely place. using this as an example :"He put his hand to the door and peered into the back seat, which was a little cell, a little black jail with bars. It smelled of riveted steel. It smelled of harsh antiseptic; it smelled too clean and hard and metallic. There was nothing soft there" (Bradbury 51).]]> 2019-04-09 12:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349883388 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349883715 Bradbury stated; 0"he was alone in this world of A.D. 2053, or as good as alone, and with a final desition made, a path selected, he would stride off, sending patterns of frosty air before him like the smoke of a cigar"(47).this is relatable to F451because in that book and in this one he is telling the reader that people cant be a pedestrian. this is relatable because n F451 people get arrested for being arrested just like the guy in the pedestrian got arrested for walking.]]> 2019-04-09 12:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349883715 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349884942 Both "The Pedestrian and "Fahrenheit 451", are very similar to each other as Bradbury shows us about the technology. In "The Pedestrian" Leonard is walking and the narrator states, "The street was silent and long and empty, with only his shadow moving like the shadow of a hawk in midcountry" (49). This is similar to "Fahrenheit 451" because Bradbury shows us in both novels that people aren't aloud socialize with other people ]]> 2019-04-09 12:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/vqw22pl68x2t/wish/349884942
