  1. “The Pedestrian” Page 47-51

  2. Read “The Pedestrian” and then answer the following questions. • What ominous fact about this future society is foreshadowed, or hinted, by the “buckling concrete walk” in the first paragraph? As the story develops, what else are you told about the setting of the story (aside from what we discussed yesterday)? • Explain Leonard Mead’s “regressive tendencies.” Describe the police automaton’s response when Mead says he is a writer. • Leonard Mead is the only human character in the story. Who – or what – appears to be in charge of this future world? • What do you think Bradbury’s purpose was in writing this story? How does the setting he chose help him achieve his purpose? Cite details (and page numbers) from the story to support your answer.
