Ray Bradbury was walking and a police officer went up to him and asked what he was doing Bradbury then said he was putting one foot in front of the other. The police officer arrested him until he was let go. He was shocked that he then wrote a story about it and put what he felt when he was arrested. This story became know as the Pedestrian, it was a story about his life and how he felt and what he thought when he was arrested.
The Pedestrian was a story that was very felt from the moment he started to write. He started off with a guy going for a walk in the night in November, he told it in such a way that it could make you feel what the character feels. He used plot to initiate his story by putting imagery and using it to make the story more alive.
Bradbury also uses things like tone to make the story feel more intense then it actually is. He used tone where the character Lenard Mead was getting stopped by the police officer. He first focused on the outside of what was happening by showing the surroundings, he then starts with the characters. He keeps on using imagery to show what the character felt like and to express Bradbury's feelings when he was caught.
He also uses the characters to make the story feel more natural and more uncanny. He uses a mysterious figure like the police officer to make the story more mysterious and puts all of what he felt when he was caught. He used what he felt before and after he was caught to make the story with more imagery and feel realistic and how it would feel if you were caught.
The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury was kind of an autobiography of himself putting his feelings and emotions of how he felt when he was stopped and arrested by the police. He used different characters and names and the year is in the future to make it a different story.
