If you have not Read the short story (THE PEDESTRIAN)by Ray Bradbury let me tall you about it .This story takes place in a windy cold night where the main character Leonard Mead is walking on the sidewalk looking at the woods, peoples house, And the sky.And back in those days it was normal for people to sit outside of their house or porch and have a conversation in the night.But this night for Leonard was meet with something different.
Ray enjoyed walking at the nights to clear his mind, to see the night sky shine with bright stars, Feel the cold wind hit his skin and just to relax.In the Story Leonard talks about that he is the last of his kind.What does he mean by this?What he means is that back in a time where people did not have any computers, TVs, or a phone. People would go outside their house or walk and have a conversation at the night because that was a normal thing to do.But now people don’t do that anymore and he is the only one that still walks at night.
Leonard has been walk at night for many year with no problems.But this night was different.While He was minding his own business a police stoped him to question him.Of course Ray response to the the officer telling him that he is on a walk.Think he was just walking at night not doing nothing else that he will be let go and go on with his walk
But he found himself in the back of the police car. Getting taken away. And when get got home he wrote the story(the pedestrian).
