Can someone help me please Identify a major theme in ONE of the stories or poems you read for this course. State the
theme in a complete sentence. Then explain how the author develops this theme throughout
the story or poem through plot events, character development, dialogue, and other story
elements.

1. Identify a theme. The theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey — in other words, the central idea of the story. Short stories often have just one theme, whereas novels usually have multiple themes.

2. State the theme. The theme statement is a sentence or two that defines the theme of the piece of art, entertainment or literature. The theme is the subject of a piece, but it should not be confused with the main idea or plot.

3. Show how author develops theme. Themes are developed by authors through the following ways: What happens - key events. Characters - character qualities, character actions and how characters respond to situations may all relate to theme. ... Dialogue and internal character thoughts - characters may say or think something which directly relates to a theme.

Life is meant to be better by the development of new technologies .  However , in Ray Bradbury´s  stories it seems that  technological improvements make humans less alive.

Example: No matter what the invention is, a time machine for example, televisions  that get the family together at home, human beings in Ray Bradbury´s  stories are less and less sensitive and emotional.The advent of devices that make people save time or get anything they want as fast as possible causes men, women and children to be isolated and disengaged.Contact , touch and tenderness are  too old fashioned to exhibit and people either hide their feelings or show  no compassion at all.

In The Pedestrian  , for instance, Leonard Mead is the only person who takes a walk at night .He enjoys his walks since he feels free.Yet, he is lonely and seen as having an improper behavior when all he wants to do is having sensations and feeling emotions.

The  lost elements in this life changed and upgraded by technology and  new things are the ones that really make life worth living.
