Let me walk through the Pedestrian
Generations how much they change from going to parties to staying late night in their electronics messaging someone or just watching Netflix/YouTube. It went seeing kids playing sand, playing tag, hide and go seek to just watching other kids play with toys on YouTube. Our generation had to change where the point parents punish there kids by telling them to go out side and not in there room. In the story “The Pedestrian” the author Ray Bradbury has this encounter with a police officer and instead of going and protesting he went home a wrote this story. He wrote about the way how our generation has change.
Ray Bradbury went for a walk a regular walk he has alway taken it was a 8:00 at misty evening when out of no where a cop stops him he was a bit surprise he was ask a lot of question. Like why is he outside at this time or if he is marry and much more. He didnt wanted to make a any tone he try to keep his voice not to strong voice because if he did the police will arreste him. Ray answer all the question with a good tone he didnt resist anything he didnt go crazy he just him self. In this part back then cops wouldn't just stop random people because they were walking and now if a cop see you walking around they will stop and ask way to many question.
Of course the cop will stop someone walking in the midnight because they will think they either in a gang or doing something bad. In the story Ray was walking at the middle of night but that's what everyone use to do have a regularly walk in the middle of night to have fresh air. Back then people will sit in front of their porch and just have a talk with their family. Now everyone have their door lock by 8:00pm no one is outside maybe for a few cars but everyone are getting ready to sleep. In the middle of the night cops are all over the place looking for bad people and if you are out for a walk they think its weird.
Ray characters was cool and claim if anyone gets stop they start freaking out but he didnt when the officer stop him he was surprise but he went along with it. He didnt try to stop or not resist him self. When he got in the cop car he didnt say anything when he pass his house he did but not much even though the police didnt listen to him he still act good. After everything he went through he went home and the first thing he did was write a story. Now if you get stop you go online and make a big deal about.
In conclusion our generation had change to much where the point being outside the middle of night is a crime. Being out side after 8:00 then you are doing something bad and if a police stops you they go crazy and act like its a big deal sometimes it is. Back then being stop by a police was not as normal as it is today Ray acted claim something people now and days cant they either run or ask dumb questions. Our generation had to a lot from its good to be outside and having fresh air and now you cant.
