'Development here would improve the area services at a transit and pedestrian scale. The 10.8-acre lot went from planned district to mixed-use neighborhood, eliminating certain commercial development restrictions that were previously imposed on the land in historic rezonings. This fully shows the power of the state.A myriad of restricted uses for a plot of land at the corner of Clark and Ballenger lanes in northeast Columbia were removed Thursday when the city's Planning and Zoning Commission approved a rezoning. No matter what he said the police car was always going to take him away. Now that Mead has gone and the streets are back to “normal”, the writer leaves us a final message of how Mead was punished for standing out from the rest of the citizens and having a bit of individuality from the rest of the community. This is clear through, “All of its electric lights brightly lit, every window a bright yellow illumination, square and warm in the cool darkness” The way in how the house is described and pictured to the reader, very much relates back to the theme of the play and how it compares to the difference between Mead and all the other citizens. Similarly, Mead is just like his house, standing out from the other citizens. It makes the reader think that he was trying to tell the police car that he is just an ordinary person that has a home and a normal life, so he should not really be where he is. In this sentence it is clear how proud Mead is and how he is not afraid to speak out. After the police car takes Mead away, he makes his last defiant statement asserting his individuality, he comments “That’s my house” In this sentence, you can see the pride and dignity that Mead had and how he summed it up so much in just these three words.

This is odd because you would not normally have these two words beside each other because the way they sort of cancel each other out. As mead gets in the car, “The door shut with a soft thud” This is a very odd sentence because of the contradiction at the end, where it says ‘a soft thud’.

The last human being as we know steps into the police car submitting to the power of the state.

In the third part of the short story, the pedestrian is finally defeated.

This compares to the rest of the citizens in the city because they all sit at home and watch TV all night whereas the pedestrian would go out, but now the pedestrian is being held by the power of the state just like everyone else. While the pedestrian is being interrogated the writer writes, “The light held him fixed like a museum specimen, needle thrust through the chest” It is as if the pedestrian is being controlled by the police cars light and is just like a museum piece that has lost all control and ability to act independently. During the interrogation, we are made aware of just how cold and adamant the voice of authority is.

This relates back to the theme of the story and how technology has taken over every other civilian in the city and now it is about to get the last free pedestrian and soon he will be just like every other helpless person sat like the dead in their homes.Īs the story continues, we see how vulnerable the pedestrian is when he is confronted by the power of the state.
