In “The Pedestrian” Ray Bradbury presents a unusual setting with an abundance of great imaginary writing and interesting description’s which gives us the upper hand to imagine it our own way and this is what Bradbury is trying to achieve:
“And on his way he would see the cottages and houses with their dark windows”
This is strange as its only 8pm and people should at least have the lights on if there not out or walking about the house. This helps me understand that Bradbury wanted to hint over a strange city.
He also compares the city to a desert:
“He could imagine himself upon the centre of a plain Arizonian desert with no house within a thousand miles”. This is especially strange as it’s a city of 3 million. This helps me to picture what Bradbury is trying to set across.
Invisible “people are there but not really there “Bradbury means by this that people are there but not as if would be in 2012 there hypnotised and as if drugged by TV etc. This helps us understand and picture what life must be
