This place, this place right here , i want to go here. I want. To be able to go to this school for multiple reasons, one of which is to finally express the musical side of me, and to finally take that chain of public embarrassment and fear of failure thats been holding it down for so long. This is one of my dreams schools, the search is still on, but this is one of those huge things for me.

-The theme of "The Pedestrian" is the loss of humanity in our lives, that we will eventually become figments of someones stories that happened a very long time ago. -Bradbury got this message across with the relativity that goes on nowadays, but he predicted this, and was pretty close to whats become of our society. -The tone of the story is very mellow at first, then eerie, then just a flat out arguement with thw "cop" that we won't win. -More people don't walk in 2018 because of the easy access to a car these days, and the fact that you don't need to go to the store to buy things makes me a little sad, because of the recent news that all Toys-R-Us stores will be closing soon. -Self driving cars don't appeal to me much, but they have their perks. I feel like they lead to isolation, inhumanity, and inconsideracy, but then again, it connects more people to each other in ways that may not be noticable at first glance.

Gatsby is living a dream to others, but living a nightmare he wants to wake up from, with Daisy. Prufrock is desperate to find love and doesn't want anyons to know that he does. But the thing they have in common is the thirst for love, and so far, these men have been dehydrated for too long.

   "They're a rotten crowd...You're worth the whole damn bunch put together." Nick says this to the man that is more than likely richer than any other person that he is associated with, but yet he means this in a whole other connotation, but why? I thought of another essay prompt that i would like to do, "What does this book offer to us that makes it so unique, creative, and just down to the point?" Although it sounds like a subject that can be written in more than likely a few books, I'm most likely gonna make it short, I apologize.      The basic idea of the book is to make your own assumption on how to take it, becauss there are several different outcomes depending on how you read the book. That was my interpretation of it, and i thought that's what made it so unique, it led you to different directions once you had a certain path down. The book gave me mixed emotions of confusion, understanding, disorientation, and walked through the book, i fel...
