    Hitchhiker by Lucille Fletcher and The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury are no exception. In The Hitchhiker a man is traveling cross country when a strange man keeps appearing, asking for a ride, while in The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury is about a man who walks every night in the world of 2053, but The Hitchhiker by Lucille Fletcher is overall more suspenseful than The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury because of Fletcher´s use of description, dialogue and imagery. The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury uses dialogue as a

    In “Test” by Theodore L. Thomas and “The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury, the negative effects of technology are shown. In “Test”, when Robert Proctor goes to get his driver's license, he becomes hypnotized by men in uniforms who are supposed to be the ones giving him his test. They put him through a car crash in his mind, and make it seem realistic to the point that when he wakes up, he thinks it was all real. Apparently, they did this to everyone because “it makes better drivers of them, more careful

    The Pedestrian The PBS article on adaptation discusses the challenge of adopting a novel into film + the changes film makers must make. In a movie they are normally 2 hours or so long because it was any longer people would start to get bored and would just not go to movie any more. Books can be 1000 pages and people will still read them because they can take a break from a book and not miss anything. Also in Movies there are so many people who have to work together to make a movie but it only takes

    Another thing I don't understand about these brainless pedestrians is crossing the road without looking on both sides use their hand, like if they consist of the force, try to stop the car. (Human hand are not made of steel or iron, or they don’t repel large mass of metal! They are also things that can damage easily!). Most of the times they are so certain that the heavy two wheeled and four wheeled motorised object will stop. What if the vehicle was at speed, or the tire was worn out or even it

    a great tool for safety and order. Though they can be improved in at least two ways; the equal amount of time of each light, and pedestrian walk signs should also get their own separate time to cross. For example, many lights at turns tend to last a lot less than the straight light stops. This must change. Another obstacle of these short lasting lights are the pedestrian lights interfering with the traffic lights. Many can argue that it takes a lot of the short time vehicles are given at the traffic

    Parking lots are full of danger for a variety of reasons. They are areas shared by distracted drivers and distracted pedestrians.

    Pedestrians often overestimate their safety. Unlike driving a car, walking feels safe because the speeds are slow and it's a natural activity that most have done from a very young age. In addition, well-marked pedestrian crosswalks with walk/don't walk signs lull people into a false sense of security that painted pavement and signal lights will protect them from motor vehicle traffic.

    Diving into the heart of human experience through literature, "The Address" by Miep Minco and "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury offer profound explorations of the tension between the past and present, the exertion of control, and the rich tapestry of human emotions. These stories, while seemingly disparate in their settings—a post-World War II backdrop for Minco and a dystopian future for Bradbury—unveil the universal struggle of individuals trying to retain their essence amidst the changing tides
