Kia Ora readers, in English, we have been reading the Pedestrian story, which is based on a world/society who are isolated and glued to their electronics. Although, Leonard Mead (protagonist in the story) admires and appreciates the outdoors/nature. For this blog post, I have to write a reasonable amount about whether or not this story relates to our real world/society. Enjoy!
In my opinion, I think it is just a little bit accurate. There is a somewhat accurate representation of how our society is going on from now, here’s why. Nowadays, the majority of people are glued to their technology and sometimes can be isolated in their own homes. For eg; they could watch, game and stay home all day. This shows somewhat of the accurate representation of the society going on from the Pedestrian story. Other than that, there is also a majority of other people in our society who appreciates nature/outdoors, goes outside often to either hangout with friends/family, going to gym, travelling, school etc. People like this actually show their love for other things other than just technology and staying at home.
