Let Me Walk You Through The Pedestrain

    "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury is a short story about Mr Leonard Mead experiencing how the authority is so used to people sitting watching TV in their homes at night. He is also feeling the effects of technology its making everyone and their homes at the darkest night look like a cemetery with grey phantoms floating about and flickers of lights flashing on curtain windows. The main and only characters tone is sad and very lonely with a dark dimly lit setting.

The tone is very lonely because the character Leonard Mead is the only real character introduced in this story. With only the police car to be only thing that confronts him. Also while he is walking on his regular night walk he has stated in his story that he has never came across another person on his walks in 8 years. The tone is also quite sad because he has no one to talk to and when the police car asks him if he has a wife he replied "Nobody wants me". Now there you can see that it hurts Mr Mead to even say that, but he does anyways and the police car says nothing.

Mr Leonard Mead is the main character in this short story and only has one interaction and thats with the police car that stops him while he is on his night walk. He is also the only character that is introduced as an actual person. Mr Mead is impacted by how the authorities treat him and how the technology has had a huge impact on them. He feels like nobody even realizes how technology has made everyone be dumb in a sense where they don't want to be around people and interact with them.
   
The main plot of this short story is that Mr Leonard Mead is out on a lonely night walk and is
stopped by the only police car in the city at night and the police car takes him to his lit house. How Mr mead reacts to he police car about what he says to him and how calm he is about every question and how the police car reacts to his answers goes to show how much people are not used to that kind of behavior, and if Mr Mead would have responded differently the plot and the outcome would have came out differently. Mr.Mead then realises what technology has done to our society and how our people act and he knows it will only get worse if nothing is done to prevent it.
   
 So really in conclusion of what Ray Bradbury has wrote, what he believes and my whole essay is that people and the relationship with technology has to be change. Because if we don't we will continue to be slaves to our own creation and nobody will have any sense of thinking for themselves. So take some time off your devices and spend time with friends and family, because you will never not get that chance again.

So This Guy Goes For A Walk

Ray Bradbury wrote "The Pedestrian" and I feel like he wrote this because he wanted everyone to see how technology has dramatically changed everyone in how they feel and act towards one another. 
In the story, Mr Bradbury walks just to walk at night and while he is on his walks he notices that there is nobody on the dark streets and all the houses are dark with the flickering light in windows covered by curtains. While on his walk he is confronted by a suspicious police car. The police car then asks him why is he walking out at night and not watching TV at his house. Bradbury responded "Walking for air, Walking to see." The police car didn't understand at all and told him to get in and took Bradbury home. The tone of the story is sad and lonely and the only character is just Bradbury.

How To Get Along Online

Hey there and on this blog I will be teaching you readers how to have a good online conversation

There are many ways to have a good online conversation and it can happen in many different ways. I will tell you three that i think are the most important. The first one is that you and the people your having a conversation with has to be fully into the conversation. Because if you or they aren't the conversation won't grow and advance and nobody will get anything off of it. The second one is that if you have a bad host of the online conversation neither you or your peerors will learn anything and will be lost on what you guys were talking about. The third and final one is that you need that have something that is actually interesting to have a conversation about. Because if the conversation is simple and plain like food is good, then nobody is gonna want to have a whole conversation about it because there isn't really anything to talk about. But if you had a conversation about something like climate change or what's the best breakfast than people will have information to go off from and it can grow.

The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online

The main points of hosting a good conversation online are having an actual good and interesting conversation, having/being a good host of the conversation, how the host develops and grows the conversation, and also how a host behaves to the people he/she are hosting. The reason for these main points are because if your online conversation, or conversation is boring then nobody is gonna put the time and effort into developing it into a good conversation. Also being a good host or having a good host is just as important as having a good online conversation, because if the host doesn't know what he/she is doing and doesn't know how to set up online conversation etc. then they shouldn't be a host.

The Value of my Time

Every action you do has an affect on yours and others futures. Some are more effective than others and some are good or bad. The time investments I take in order to have successful future is study, take time to learn a subject, and constantly learn new things to help me and my brain advance in life. My ultimate goal in life is to basically have a nice and relaxing life when I'm in my late 30's. To do this I need to by in on what my teachers teach me in order to understand it and take it over to the next level. With this main goal that I have there has to be stages leading up to this goal of mine. Like passing all classes, getting accepted into college, finding a job that fits me, then finally actually meeting that main goal of mine. With every step I take and every test I pass I know that I am one baby step closer to my true goal in my life. I truly thank Dr. Preston for lighting the way of my true goal in life that I want to have and the steps it takes to get there and how hard I need to work within those steps.

Letter To A Mentor


Hi my name is Samuel Angel Herrera

I would like to learn many things in life. Like how to cook like a five star chief, or how to drive like a pro nascar driver, and even how be a good person. All of these are good, but what i mostly would like to learn more about is how to truly be one of the best running backs in football history. My mentor that I would like to guide and teach me would be Saquon Barkley. The reason for this is because his moves, strength, and speed are extremely good. I know that some of those traits are just in his genes but most of it was because of hard work and dedication. You can really tell he works hard because of how hard he plays and dominates the other team. And I would love to be just like that or even better. Everyone has a goal, it's just that some people want that goal more than others.

Hawthrone & Poe on Dreams

Hi and welcome to another on my blogs


 The authors in these "Young Goodman Brown" with Poe's "Dream Within a Dream" use the idea of dreaming to make us think about what's real by showing us in one story that you don't know anything about a person until you actually truly know what they are thinking about and in the story "Young Goodman Brown" Goodman Brown meets the devil in the woods and thinks its dream and he thinks that Faith knows he is evil so he doesn't want anything to do with her. Then with the poem "Dream Within a Dream" what I think its saying is that what you think might be real, might end up being just a dream. Because it states that "All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.”? In both of these stories i see the meaning of people thinking something is real when it’s not, and their differences is that one is a short suspenseful story, and another is a cute poem.
