Help ASAP!!!
I am a high school student and in Ap English. Our literary question of the week is : What is unusual about the way Ray Bradbury lives in Los Angles? We need the answer by tomorrow and I have been searching. I was hoping someone could help me. please.

Here's one:
Ray never learned to drive a car. So in Los Angeles, he always had either someone drive him, had a hired driver, or he took a taxi cab.
Or walked.
Or bicycled.

Also:
He worked for Disney is Paris. So he often took a train to New York. And then, flew to Paris. You must remember, he never flew in an airplane to much later in life. He is a 'train-guy'. So taking the train to New York was part of his "heritage"...

Mr. Dark
Nard's right. Go with the car. To live in LA without driving is pretty unusual.

A tidbit is that he's lived in the same house for 45 years. That's pretty unusual, but not in the same category.
