LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE PEDESTRIAN

   The story The Pedestrian is a surprisingly different story then another other ordinary story you read. It’s unique and different that’s what makes it interesting. The Pedestrian is about a man that goes out for a walk for his own benefit, just minding his business, enjoying the fresh air and not causing danger to anyone. As he walks down the streets a cop pulls him over and starts asking him a bunch of questions for no reason.
    My thoughts are he probably looked suspicious but he wasn’t doing anything bad nor causing harm to anyone. But the cop was doing his job just snooping making sure he wasn’t doing anything illegal but he wasn’t doing anything, just walking. He continued asking him pointless questions, but the man remained calm because he knew he didn’t do anything wrong. He was living his life in peace and keeping to himself.
   As the night continues getting darker and darker, the cop is still bugging and not getting anywhere because the man is stubborn and knows his rights. I don’t blame him because he basically didn’t do anything, just walking through the streets. He has every right to not say anything even if he was doing something because the cop didn’t see him, he has no proof whatsoever about what he “was doing”. The cop went with his instinct and found him suspicious, maybe because of how he looks or how he was walking. People can be quick to judge without even knowing you.
    The fact that the man had the courage to walk for hours and hours shows how strong and mindful he is.. because most people can’t walk for hours so he was probably distracted in his own thoughts and thought so much he lost track of time. It shows he’s powerful and fearless because not anyone would just go outside and walk for hours at midnight hours. The streets could potentially be dangerous and you might run into something that you regret. The story sends out many messages that not anyone can catch because you really have to think deep and figure out yourself the point of the story. Not much action happened through out the night but the author did prove his point on how powerful the brain can be.

SO THIS GUY GOES FOR A WALK

I think Ray Bradbury wrote “The Pedestrian” to explain how a story doesn’t need to have much action to be interesting and leave a strong message. It shows how the tone takes a big part of the story

SAME WORDS DIFFERENT PEOPLE

One thing I noticed was that people have different perspectives when it comes to definitions. Someone one might define a word this way and another person that way. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong, they just view it differently.

TIME INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO 1

I like to spend my time very wisely and I make sure I’m spending it on things that I need to be doing or doing for myself. I sometimes like to make a schedule on when I do things so I don’t waste my time on irrelevant things that come up. At the moment I’m really just trying to get another step closer to making my life easier or achieving my goals. I put school first before things like the gym and work because my education is really important to me and I want to actually try to get good grades for in the future if I need it, like college. Because I know people always change their mind on what they wanna do with their life. I’d want to have the grades if I change my mind about college and stuff. I want to be able to have more of a variety of options.

THE VALUE OF MY TIME

Everyday I have the mindset of, if something’s not making me better or if something is unhealthy, I automatically drop it. If it’s not making me a better person each day, I don’t have the time for it. I dont want to waste my time because you can’t ever get time back. So what I do in the meantime to help me in the future is work, go to the gym, and do what I have to do in school to be successful. I want to be a licensed barber so I usually watch videos on cutting hair and trying to gain more knowledge each day. I’d also might consider being a personal trainer in the future once I’m in the shape I want to be. Working out is a really good stress relief, and I recommend to anyone.
