In the story “Araby” the protagonist is portrayed by the author to seem young, which limited his ability to see past his dull, dead-end neighborhood.

In “Walking and the Suburbanized Psyche,” the author, Rebecca Solnit, argues that the development of suburbanization has been the primary problem as to why our modern society continues to devalue the significance and impact of walking. Suburbanization hasn’t only changed the way we travel from one place to another, but it has also changed the way we communicate amongst each other and with ourselves. Walking is looked down upon and has been seen as a symbol of low status. This has led people to exterminate the use of walking in their daily lives. However, even if someone would like to walk to their destination they can’t due to the fact that places are shaping their roads to accommodate to the excess use of cars. I agree with Solnit that walking has a positive impact towards our bodies, our world, and our imagination.

Rebecca Solnit’s Walking and the Suburbanized Psyche stresses her concerns about the suburban wave that has plagued the world in recent times. According to her, the mind, the body, and the world have a special bond that is being vanquished by the lack of recreational walking. In the eighteenth century, there was a “golden era” for walking because recent accommodations made it possible for the general public to enjoy the untamed nature all around them. This era was short-lived, as suburbs rose to popularity so did their unorthodox labyrinths which made walking simple distances nearly impossible to the public. The reason why walking in nature is important, Solnit shares, is because it allows the mind to flow freely without the corruption of everyday obstacles that the suburbs brought. She explains that in order for the mind to avoid being molded into a sterile dull thing, it must imagine in nature. If we do not continue to walk, the history we have with walking will diminish as will the special bond our ancestors cherished so dearly. Without it, Solnit fears that we will no longer be able to produce such things, however, in recent times walking is not a luxury many can do. I disagree because society has changed to the point where walking is not only a rarity but also a threat to many.

Suspense is the feeling of uncertainty and feeling anxious mainly because you don’t know what is going to happen. One suspense story is called "The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury. “The Pedestrian” takes place in 2053 and is about this man who walks around town at night, when no one else is walking.

Television is a luxury that can be used for good reasons but often has adverse consequences. The short story called “The Pedestrian” by author Ray Bradbury shows the negativity of television. He wrote about a man living in a world where people are consumed by watching tv. The author portrays what he believes will happen to societies in the future if television continues to grow popular. Bradbury strategically uses characterization, setting, and diction to develop his central idea that television will have a negative impact on future communities.

It was winter time; strong frosts rarely had appeared in this region, but the unceasing urban life had always warmed the city’s streets. Crowded people jumbled and hustled, hurrying in all directions. Sitting on the windowsill, I was looking into the distance through the frozen glass and saw them swarming like ants, hasting towards their everyday routine.

In the depths of the night sky, a moth flying in the streetlight leaves in petulant nature from the town of Northville. Streets of Northville, filled with the garbage and muck of human society,burns with beads of fire and haze from the old industrial complex. Men walk as though mutants, created by a crazed and intrepid scientist, wanting only for the equal thought of human minds. People of the old industrial town, full wittingly, walk, listen and are told by the government's full erroneous thought. The red, purple, and orange leaves fall to the yellow, detritus grass. The leaves although dead and droopy, fall into a spiral staircase of wind and un-precipitated water molecules, almost like a voluptuous dancer in a satin dress . A man of the
