SELF RELIANCE 1ST IMPRESSION
You think somethings and you believe what you believe to be right
This comes out as selfish
Belief in who you are, to get other people to: Belief is genuis rather than the thought itself
These people didn't bind themselves by what was written, Moses, Plato
Imitation is suicide: be yourself and trying to be someone else: If you succeed in being someone else you lose yourself.
The only champion, capatain of your doing ship, you thinking ship, is you!
tone:serious Philosophical
I really like how the author expresses the theme through his writing, he manages to do it in a way where we can find connections to. Something else that I liked about his writing is that he writes in a way that can confuse the reader into misinterpreting the meaning of what he's trying to say. I think that the message throught the essay is pretty clear, especially with the background info given. The way the writer has a way of making the essay sound motivational rather than putting down people who don't have much self-reliance. It's very informational for anyone looking for ways to better themselves, a sort of self care. It seems like a passasge you'd read in a self care handbook.

Essay Rough Draft
Intro:
Plot: The story "The pedestrian" by Ray Bradbur, takes place in the future. A future where the people are glued to technology. Since it was written back when technology wasn't so advanced it was surpirising to see how accuractley he wrote about families, a community attatched to their televisions, slaves to technology. He wrote about the event right after his real life experience where he too was stopped by cops while on a stroll through the street. He put it into words as an eglish writer would, he made his strange encounter into something fun and entertaining to read. He put his thoughts through his writing by including why it would be so weird for someone to be walking during a time of technology. You get may ideas of the way "people" think by how the cop car replies to the characters responses.

SO THIS GUY GOES FOR A WALK
He wrote the story to get his feeling onto paper and express why he felt so that he could be undersood, in a way thats more playful?
The city in november at 8 o'clock paints a pretty clear picture, as he does with most of his words
He writes about a time in the future, a time where cars control the streets and where everyone is a zombie glued onto devices, at this time a tv. For him to write about things are happening now are crazy. The character himself is witty as you'd expect an english writer to be, you see this in his first response to the cop car. His actions are seen as strange and those of someone who needs help, he gets judged for not being married or owning a tv. He also gets judged for taking regular walks around he streets. You see it in the"cops" response to his answers.
