Letter To A Mentor

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE PEDESTRIAN

                          There are many factors being played throughout the story of The Pedestrian. The setting, plot, tone, and the characters play a major role in this story. This story can be described and told in many ways. In this essay technology plays a big role. There are many similarities that can be taken out of the story and be compare to how we live in our society today.

               The setting and the tone in this story gives the reader a good perspective on the surroundings, and the mood of the story. In the story the author says its a misty evening. It's dark ,it’s really quite and he's all alone. With no one around to witness anything. The author approach this situation with a mysterious feeling and not knowing what to expect. The author put really good details to describe certain stuff. From the buckling concrete to describing the frosty air, which he compared to the smoke of a cigar.This gives the reader a good imagine in their head. The setting and tone is really important because it’s the foundation of a story.

                       Characters play one of the most major parts in a story because the story revolves around them. In this story the main character is Mr. Leonard Mean.  Leonard Mean is a quite a person. He's quite and lonely yet somewhat a funny man. We see that when he's confronted by the police car in the story. When asked a few questions he answers them sarcastically. Mr. Leonard is a mysterious man who loves walking at night, when everyone else is home.  He doesn't have a wife or any kids. When asked by the police he said no one wanted him. Which made me chuckle. This gives the situation some humor, which doesn't make the story all intense for the reader.

                              The plot in the story is something that many in our society can relate too. In the story Mr. Leonard is going for a walk at night, then is later arrested for no reason. In our society today many face this type of discrimination. Some face it because of the color of their skin, what they're wearing or even because how they look. Mr. Leonard case was that he was walking at night which seemed odd the the police. 

So This Guy Goes For A Walk

I feel that the story “The Pedestrian” can be interpreted into many ways in our lives now. When the pedestrian went for a walk and was stop by a police officer,then later arrested can be like, now in our society many people go out and are mistaken. These people are often thought to be doing the wrong thing. Many sometimes are approach by authorities, and sometimes many loose their lives.

Same Words Different People

When I was talking with my classmates i learned many things. I learned how each of us sees or  think in a different way. We all look at things differently, we all learn and were taught in a way only we truly understand. When discussing in our groups I learned how many are managing their time. How they translate what we've been learning onto our blogs, and how we're taught in the same class and by the same teacher, yet we interpret things differently.

The Value Of My Time

To be honest I don’t really know what I’m doing, like I put so much energy into stuff that I enjoy doing but is it really going to pay off later in the future? I’m getting home around 8pm every day becomes I go and do community service and try to get my work done before heading home, I’m investing my time in helping others, I feel at some point it will pray off and if not it’s something I’ve always enjoyed doing.

Investing in Me!😏

I still don’t know how I am going to financially take care of myself. The common thing to do is to probably get a job, I would want to but I still don’t know how I would manage a job and going to college.
