THE PEDESTRIAN

1. The theme of The Pedestrian is the dangers of  technology to society and humanity.  2. Bradbury gets this message across when he explains about how there was no one in the cop care but just a machine talking to him. Also, when Bradbury talks about seeing flashes through people curtains as in people were just at home watching TV.  3. Bradbury’s tone towards the story is of cautionary because he takes the reader 100 years forward where machines control humans.  4. People don’t walk as much anymore because there are cars. If you don’t have a car then there’s a bus ride. Or a bike. Or a friend. But now there are so many ways for transportation that you don’t need to walk.  5.

F451 Essay

Fahrenheit 451 is hands down one of the most interesting books I have ever read. What makes this book interesting is how every little scene is actually very big to the story. For this same reason is why we can interpretate a lot of themes into this book. One of many themes is self-determination. We can see self-determination with Montag. Montag drastically changes throughout the story after meeting Clarisse. Before meeting Clarisse, Montag was a regular pedestrian. Well not so regular because he was a firefighter, but to himself, Montag was just a married book burner. After meeting Clarisse, Montag decided to change his life. He wanted to show the world he can be whoever he wants. He wanted to bring back books because that was what he enjoyed. He changed into someone who wanted to change how the future was looking, to how he wanted the future to look. Bradbury not only wrote this book, but he also predicted some of the future. Some examples of his predictions were when he talked about
