So This Guy Goes For A Walk

The story "The Pedestrian" is about a man walking and getting stopped by a police man and being questioned a lot. As he was heading home he noticed that the streets were lonely, no one was outside it was quiet and peaceful. You realize how the world can change in a blink of an eye within seconds for a better or for a worst. Things you thought are normal for you can possibly not be normal to those in these generations. Now just imagine getting pulled over by a police man for walking late night, I see nothing wrong with that for others it can be bad. Imagine you wanting to go out for a walk and seeing a policeman you can be afraid if even going out thinking it’s trouble or something. Now days policeman do abuse over those who have the right to do things or being prohibited things. You don’t even know what’s right or what wrong.

Let Me Walk You Through The Pedestrian

     The perspective in how people see things before and now are so different. Now all you see is people being on a electronic device, playing games having fun, before there were people who just had fun playing outside. Technology is what is mostly used now, even younger kids have the use of technology not only for school or anything school associated but for the use of social media.

      The tone in this short story is very quiet and lonely due to only one character being introduced. In the story it said that the character Leonard Mead lived alone, enjoyed his time alone going on long walks and had no jobs. Although Leonard Mead was described as a man who was passionate about enjoying his late night walks alone and he also had a different perspective in how he saw the world. This also makes me feel or think that due technology people will be lonely and will depend more on the technology then going out and having fun with friends. Adding to that it’s also sad to say people let technology take over there life.

     Bradbury’s tone is also filled with anger because he got stopped by a police for no reason. It showed us that what those policeman were doing was wrong because they are just arresting an innocent man. I have a feeling the message he is wanting to give us is that we need to stand up for ourselves when we need to or when we are being out down for things we weren’t capable of causing or doing. This story was basically about a single character with no humans around him.
   
     The main point/ plot of this story is that Leonard Mead is the guy who randomly has late night walks. The way Mead reacted about the police car shows how not everyone has the same point of view that a person sees thing being done. If a different behavior is being used that obviously the outcome would have came out differently maybe more aggressive. He then realized what the use of technology has done, it has made people depend more on the technology. If nothing is being done to remove it or prevent it then best believe it will worsen.

     Overall, the tone of this story does not change through the story. Technology has a big impact in today’s society. It makes either have a good access to it or not because it stops you from having interactions with people, use of technology has you basically on social media. The use of technology is overpowering the community. For others taking a walk late night can be scary but for Mead it is just something he does daily. Our generation has gone from enjoy a beautiful day outside to just being stuck up on your electronic device.

Story Of My Life

An event in my life that I can turn into a short story is when I went on a road trip to Mexico. This road trip took about 26 hours. Yes, I understand it does seem long but once your on the road it goes by fast. I love having to go on road trips to Mexico because we pass through so many places. I love getting to travel and see new places I've never been too. Travelling has always been something I enjoy doing. In this Trip I got to eat so many food such as tacos, mariscos, and roasted chicken. I had such a great time in Mexico enjoying my few days with all my family. The sad part is having toleave and going back to visit every year.

The Art Of Hosting Good Conversations Online

After reading " The art of hosting good conversations online" I learned that online discussions enable people to make contact with other or help people show others about themselves beyond their usual masks. Being a host or hosting for something has a different job, for example a host can be a character in a show or a host can also be like hosting a party. A host has to make rules for what they expect to happen that the guest have to follow or communities learning to create their own way of describing something. Whether your hosting something or being a host you have to have a behavior patience or being cautious of the things being taken in action. Overall, its all about creating, experimenting, and exploring together.

Same Words Different People

Two things I understand from October 10 is that Open source is a source code that is free to the public to copy, use, modify, and distribute(share) with others. I finally have a good definition that is understandable and clear with what open source actually is. Another thing I learned is that a Tesla has an open source and that is you get a source code you can get to make it yourself, get to build it just like you want it to be.
