Ray Bradbury wrote “The Pedestrian” because something similar happened to him. He wanted to show people what life would be like in the future, and wanted to express his thinking, on why a police office would stop anyone from just walking. What happened in his life that contributed towards the tone was all the details he saw on his walk which makes people imagine what he felt like walking. Also the character because it was similar to him scene the character was also a writer like him. He also shows how some writers don’t get enough credit for what they do or write. The plot of the story also contributed because just from walking and getting stopped, he got inspired to write the short story with how he predicted the future people would react if someone would walk in the dark, late at night.
Two big ideas I got by reading the ending of Brave New World is that people always get caught up in society and what others think. People can not be taken seriously about their feeling because others won’t understand them, or it’s something they have never felt before so others don’t know how to react.
