So this guy goes for a walk

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.

Response to “Dream Within a Dream”

What I understand from the poem “Dream Within a Dream” is that it seems hard to understand what is a dream and what it real life. It is also really hard to remember what your dream was about even after you just woke up. No matter how had you try to remember it the less you seem to know what you were dreaming about and even the most basic details about it. The author also want to show how he would like to hold on to them for a long period of time so he can remember at least the good things in life, even if that comes from just a dream.
