    assign -- due Monday: 

    Create a PLOT GRAPH for the short story “The Pedestrian,” by Ray Bradbury. I will put a copy of the story on Moodle so you will have access to it over the weekend.

    Start with your narrative hook and climax. Everything else is easier to fill in if you have these two points.

    Also, list what kind of conflict we see in “The Pedestrian,” and explain HOW it is that kind.
