We have finished with "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury and we are moving forward with another selection that he has written entitled, "The Pedestrian". Read Mr. Daniel Gilbert's view of "The Pedestrian".

An Essay on the Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury, an essay fiction - FictionPress.com

I believe this essay is a great primer for the selection and highlights several themes and critiques of society presented by Bradbury. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the essay and its contents after you read it.

  1. What I like about the essay is that he gives a good summary almost about the story without necessarily spoiling it for readers.Based on his facts,examples and reasons he really understood the story.

  2. My comment is that with technology being the main thing people use in everyday life is become more advance. With technology being advance, people will always depend on it. But maybe in the in the future technology will become highly advance that it could control human. I also thing that if technology become to advance, people would become lazy and let technology work for themselves.

  3. What I think about the use of technology today is it's making people lazy. Because humans have technology at their finger tips. I feel as though in this essay it is pointing out that technology has flaws. And in our society now we are using it in our everyday use, but not always to it's full advantage. Back then you would have to memorize a phone number, and now you can voice dial. Student are learning much less in school because, now all you have to do is google the question and move on, which really misses the point of teachers teaching.

  4. Personally I Think That People In General, Should Not Depend So Much On Technology As They Do Now. Everything In Our Life Style Is Plagued With Technology.What Happens If One Day We Couldnt Access The Power Of Technology? Citizens Would Be Clueless, Especially How Our Generation Was Built Among The Advancment Of Technology. Now Im Not Saying We Should Deprive Ourselves From Technology, Im Just Saying Dont Let It Consume Our Work Ethics. (Tyrone Koehler-Jones 4 A/B)

  5. ...I Also Wanted To Point Out How The Advancement Of Technology Can Be Very Dangerous. At The Rate Technology Is Increasing, Advanced Bombs and Other Weapons Will Also Be Threat. "Technology was becoming more advanced, and this is what Ray Bradbury is warning us of if we depend on it too much." (Tyrone Koehler-Jones 4 A/B Cont)

  7. The essay is actually interesting. It tells mains details and good lines that make me want to go read it. I believe we don't need technology for everything its also making the people very lazy. I think its a problem when technology starts taking away our free will. Also our walks at different times of the days.
