Outsiders in The Flying Machine, The Pedestrian, and I See You Never :: Ray Bradbury, The Pedestrian
Outsiders in The Flying Machine, The Pedestrian, and I See You Never    The Flying Machine, in this the ousider is the Inventor. He is classed  as an outsider because he is seen to be a threat.(outisde accepted  behaviour).    The Pedestrian, in this the outsider is Mr Leonard Mead he is classed  as an outsider because he walks the street on a night, which is seen  to be outside the norm of society.    I See You Never, in this the outside is Mr Ramirez he is an outsider  because he is an immigrant and his visa ran out long ago. (Outside the  Law).    The theme of these stories seems to be the society against the  individual and these individuals as lonely people especially Mr  Leonard Mead in the Pedestrian as he is seen in the story as walking  around at night talking to houses and things.    Do I sympathise with the outsiders?    I do sympathise with two of the outsiders and these are Mr Leonard  Mead and The Inventor. I sympathise with these because they really  haven't done anything seriously wrong. I think that the Inventor  shouldn't have been executed for something so little. He was really  just following his dreams of inventing. And I sympathise with Mr  Leonard Mead because he seems to be a social but lonely man enjoying a  walk out in the evening. I can't see how this can be a reason for him  to be arrested. It seems that in the Pedestrian if you all didn't act  the same and have the same things you were an outsider anyway.    Personally, I don't sympathise with Mr Ramirez because he is illegally  in the country and his visa ran out so really he is an outsider in  this country.    Mr Ramirez broke the law. He overstayed his time limit and took up  permanent living. We are told 'He only had a permanent visa'.    There are too many immigrants that are allowed in this we don't need  any more that aren't.    'He only had a temporary visa'    All these Outsiders have a lot in common as they are all victims and  are being punished for doing nothing in the stories this is clear that  they haven't done anything serious.    What do the stories have in common?    The stories have a lot in common as they all are based around people  that are not the same as everyone else. Each story has an outsider,  someone who is different in the different societies. All the outsiders  are punished in every story some for hardly anything and others for
