pedestrian questions


1.  Describe the setting.  Provide as many details as possible.
2.  Describe the society in which Leonard Mead lives.
3.  Explain the possible reasons that Leonard Mead does not fit into this society.
4. Why does he keep all of his lights on?
5.  Mead is taken to the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies.  What does
     “regressive” mean?  Why would he be taken there just for walking down the street?
6.  What might have happened to this society that there would be no crime, but that walking would be
     considered criminal behavior?  What is Bradbury suggesting about society (theme)?
7. How does the society in the story resemble ours?  What is similar and what is different?
