2. Read the following excerpt from Ray Bradbury's The Pedestrian":
He hadn't written in years. Magazines and books didn't sell any

in the tomblike houses at night now, he
thought, continuing his fancy. The tombs, ill-lit by television light,
where the people sat like the dead, the gray or multicolored lights
touching their faces, but never really touching them.
"No profession," said the phonograph voice,
hissing. "What are you doing out?*
*Walking, said Leonard Mead.
*Walking!"
Just walking," he said simply, but his face
felt cold.
*Walking, just walking, walking?"
"Yes, sir."
"Walking where? For what?"
Walking for air. Walking to see.'
"Your address!"
"Eleven South Saint James Street."
*And there is air in your house, you have an air conditioner, Mr.
Mead?"
"Yes.'

'No."

Answer 1

The term irony as used by Bradbury's to convey meaning in the above story is that Bradbury stories is one whose message tells the effects of technology and how it is dangerous for Humans and  he was strongly against its use.

Dystopian setting contributes to my analysis from the text as it shows the origin of the conflict in the excerpt.

The dystopian setting is one that passes the message that television act as a controls in all human's life to the point that we humans do not have any will no-more.

What is the irony in Bradbury's  stories?

Bradbury stories is one whose message is all about dangers of technology.

He is one who see that the world is one and that  men are very obsessed with television and a lot of people are devoted to it and no longer goes out.

He believes that people do not want to go out for walks or socializes because of it.

Bradbury is one who uses irony as he  tells that "It was  ironic that a simple activity like when a person is walking could get a person to be arrested. This irony is one that create the idea that technology is one that dominates every human life.

story, to what extent can we control our fate? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience,

Answers

Firstly, Faith and Fate aren't the same. The former speaks of strong believe in the positive while the other connotes a form of resignation to invisible forces beyond ones control.

In the context of this story, to what extent can we control our fate?

As already stated, one may not be able to control their fate, but they can certainly improve the probability that things will go right.

For example, from my experience, it is correct to state that, although we cannot control when a vehicular accident can happen (say form a third party's negligence - an example of fate) we can certainly ensure that it does not originate from us by doing the right things such as:

Obeying Traffic LawsProperly maintaining our vehicles etc.

Hence, it is right to state that one may not be able to control their fate, but they can certainly improve the probability that things will go right.

Answers

A difficult decision I had to make was whether or not I should share some money with my cousin, who did not have any of her own. On one hand, the money belonged to me, and I wanted to use it to buy something for myself. However, I knew that sharing it with her would make her happy, so I chose to split the amount with her so that we could both buy something. If I had decided not to, I think that she would have been sad.

When an individual makes a difficult decision, it comes up with both challenges and achievements, it is his responsibility of him how to deal with them.

The answer is to another country

Explanation:

find a METAPHOR in here
If instead of being hanged by the neck

you're thrown inside

for not giving up hope

in the world, your country, your people,

if you do ten or fifteen years

apart from the time you have left,

you won't say,

"Better I had swung from the end of a rope

like a flag" -

You'll put your foot down and live.

It may not be a pleasure exactly,

but it's your solemn duty

to live one more day

to spite the enemy.

Part of you may live alone inside,

like a tone at the bottom of a well.

But the other part

must be so caught up

in the flurry of the world

that you shiver there inside

when outside, at forty days' distance, a leaf moves.

To wait for letters inside,

to sing sad songs,

or to lie awake all night staring at the ceiling

is sweet but dangerous.

Look at your face from shave to shave,

forget your age,

watch out for lice

and for spring nights,

and always remember

to eat every last piece of bread-

also, don't forget to laugh heartily.

And who knows,

the woman you love may stop loving you.

Don't say it's no big thing:

it's like the snapping of a green branch

to the man inside.

To think of roses and gardens inside is bad,

to think of seas and mountains is good.

Read and write without rest,

and I also advise weaving

and making mirrors.

The bolded part is the metaphor. A jewel is compared positively with a person's heart. The heart must continue to shine beautifully in spite of being imprisoned.

Inside is also at least a symbol but it is compared to being held in a prison.

"Cousin" should not be capitalized in "cousin Tammy.""Aunt" should not be capitalized in "aunt Edna's."There is no need to place a comma after "said" since this is not a dialogue.

Answers

The speech-thought differential is the difference between how fast you think and how fast the speaker talks.

This "thought-speech gap" or "listening gap" means that the brain has extra capacity and WILL process information using that extra capacity. For example, a listener can process a lot of non-verbal cues. Great listeners will observe such cues and use them to guide the conversation to fit their communication goals.

But the difference in how quickly people speak and how quickly they listen also creates an opportunity for the brain's cognitive biases to operate and shape the listener's perception. I've written before about some of the cognitive biases that can occur especially when listening. See the Listen Like a Lawyer blog posts here and here and here on cognitive biases such as the well-known confirmation bias.
