The Pedestrian: Respecting Authority-- Then versus Now

  How does Leonard Mead respect authority in 'The Pedestrian' versus today? Well, Leonard mead is respectful and polite when he's stopped by the Police Car, answers when asked, and was inquisitive when told to get in, then willingly got into the back of the car. Today, if somebody's stopped, with the Police Shootings and similar events in this day and age, People rebel, run, and are impolite toward police(Lots of people yell things like 'Fuck the Police' and other stupid shit), because they feel as if Police are abusing their Authority. It really does upset me, whenever I see a Police Officer, I usually either nod as a greeting, or Say 'Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening' to the officer just to show that there's still people who respect their Authority. In fact, I had been at one of the Downtown Fridays/Farmer's Market here in Santa Maria, and there was a CHP Booth giving out information about what they do. I politely Said "Hello" to the officer, who replied with "Hi, How are you?" I reply with "Good, and you?" We had a very nice conversation about the cruiser and about how they have Jurisdiction on Broadway and Main, because they're Highway 135 and 166. When I was about to leave, I looked into the back, and Said "This is a place I hope never to end up. I'll try my hardest to keep my nose clean. Thank you for your service." People who respect authority with police and are polite usually aren't targeted for crazy crap, I'm not saying those men who were shot were being impolite, there are of course many Corrupted officials and ones who don't care what race you are, they want to help you no matter what, and I try to remember that.

"The Pedestrian" Inciting incident.

The inciting incident from Ray Bradbury's "The Pedestrian" is when he's falsely arrested by the police car, for walking. Sure it's 2059 and nobody walks anymore, but who wants to conform? He's taken to a mental institute because he was W.A.L.K.I.N.G. and seemed insane. Ray Bradbury truly was predicting our future: Nobody walking, self-aware automobiles, people being arrested for no logical reason etc. How sad we must be.

Respect My Authority

  How Authority Figures respect my Authority is basically I have my own rights, I was given the option to choose what I wanted to believe in(Atheism), I make my own decisions, hell, I've never even had a curfew. My Authority is respected when I do the same to others. I've never challenged them on this that or the other, They're their own human with their own rights.

Mistakes for President

Both Secretary Clinton and Mr. Trump have a solid game-plan for their time in office, but Trump continues to interrupt Secretary Clinton and be a distraction. Basically one's a millionaire that acts like a Baby, the other has experience in the residential office, yet Trump continues to attack her.  

Pedestrian-First Impression

It's interesting, at the beginning it sounds like he's the only living thing on earth, but as the story progresses it's shown that he's the only life form that still walks.

  I spent a good portion of my afternoon yesterday Googling "DIY Particle Accelerator" and "DIY Fusion Reactor," observed some Interesting E-bay listings for 'Used' particle accelerator parts and even watched a video about a 15 year old boy who built a functional nuclear reactor in his shed, which also gave me lots the info I need to build my own DIY Reactor, and Homeland Security hasn't come knocking on my door yet. I'm starting to feel as if the "Government tracking your search history" thing is just propaganda. Well, we'll find out soon enough...

MY AERIES

Friday's Essay: B-

I understand why I got this grade. I hadn't read either the night prior and was just using what I remember from skimming the stories.

I don't know what other grades I've gotten in class, but I suppose I've earned at least a C or C+ at most.

Vocab attempt.

As the newly wed couple crossed the threshold, they had faith in each other that they were going to be together for many years to come. Little did the wife know that her husband was a pious martyr in the Penitentes, a group of devoted Catechism. After several years, the couple had a baby. The Baby, upon meeting his Father for the first time, let out a joyful mirth. After another handful of years, the Husband was almost Tarried by the townspeople after a religious quarrel caused mass frenzy. The wife and young son discerned the importance of this ceremony and attempted to resolve the conflict.

Journal Topic-9/1/16

(I'm doing this on the blog because I can't find any pencils)

Topic: Adults say to toddlers all the time: "Use your Words." What do they mean, my words? We know that fiction authors use dialogue for the purpose of indirect characterization-- as you write the story of your life each day, how do the words you choose create an impression of who you are?

Response: Well, my words can be viewed in two different ways: One way: The things you're force fed every single day of your life. The second way: "Made Up" words. You can choose to create something of your own even if society chooses to label it "Gibberish." I try to use words that have a high level of vocabulary yet are easy to understand for those who don't understand every nine-lettered word out there, making me seem intelligent yet easy to understand(I may seem smart to other Americans but I'm quite convinced I'm considered 'Average' in places like Europe or India).
