Purpose of " The Pedestrian"

In the early 1950’s, Ray Bradbury was a young man living in southern California. He did not know hot to drive, and he liked walking around his suburban neighborhood at nigh. Even back then behavior like that was considered “weird” that one time Ray was even stopped and questioned by a police officer. After him going on an innocent walk Ray Bradbury wondered how it might be viewed in the future. After Ray Bradbury’s interaction with the police office, he wrote it explaining how no one ever came out side or even turned lights on in their houses. He says they watched television and never even drove their cars. With that being said, if you were out alone with out any purpose you would be considered Suspicious. That’s where the officer from Ray Bradbury’s innocent with the recent office occurs in the story “The pedestrian”.
