The Pedestrian
Hello everyone!
I need some help.
I am working on an assignment for my English class, it is a literary analysis/comparison of "There Will Come Soft Rains" and "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury. My problem is I can't find any sources that talk about "The Pedestrian" (i.e. reviews, lit. analysis, ect.). If anyone could point me to some web sites that they think would help me out, I would really appreciate it.

Try the following links:

and
http://www.northharriscollege.com/departments/clh/engl-syllabi/11anal.html

However, I would also urge you not to limit your research to the internet. There are several very good books containing critical studies of Ray Bradbury's writing that have been published, and which may be available at your local library.

Now this really ties into the post topic, the context of the story Pedestrian, and the ongoing condition of this Good Old site:

When "they" return with the incarcerated Mr. Mead in the back seat of the patrol car, they must pass his home on the way to the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies. The neighborhood homes were all dark and quiet, except for one - Mr. Mead's, where "the lights were on but nobody was home!"

Hey, grasstain! Are you out for a midnight stroll?
