Zen in the Art of Writing – Ray Bradbury
A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ray Bradbury has published some twenty-seven books—novels, stories, plays, essays, and poems—since his first story appeared when he was twenty years old. He began writing for the movies in 1952—with the script for his own Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. The next year he wrote the screenplays for It Came from Outer Space and Moby Dick. And in 1961 he wrote Orson Welles's narration for King of Kings. Films have been made of his "The Picasso Summer," The Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451, The Mar- tian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the short animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright, based on his story of the history of flight, was nominated for an Academy Award. Since 1985 he has adapted his stories for "The Ray Bradbury Theater" on USA Cable television.

By writing a draft in a day I have a story with a skin around it.” Ray Bradbury’s creative coda originated long before he fashioned this concise version of it for his December 1964 Show magazine interview. His daily writing habit had become a quotidian fever by the early 1940s, and he soon learned to avoid interruptions from any other voices—including his own rational judgments. Each day became a race between subconscious inspiration and the stifling effects of his own self-conscious thoughts—the more logical thought patterns that he desperately tried to hold at bay during the few hours it would take him to complete an initial draft. Bradbury was convinced that the magic would dissolve away if he failed to carry through on a story idea or an opening page at first sitting, and it’s not surprising that his Show interview coda came with a cautionary corollary: “If one waits overnight to finish a story, quite often the texture one gets the next day is different.

Introduction to Fahrenheit 451 by Neil Gaiman, 2013
Introduction to Fahrenheit 451 by Neil Gaiman, 2013 (1) Sometimes writers write about a world that does not yet exist. We do it for a hundred reasons. (Because it’s good to look forward, not back. Because we need to illuminate a path we hope or we fear humanity will take. Because the world of the future seems more enticing or more interesting than the world of today. Because we need to warn you. To encourage. To examine. To imagine.) The reasons for writing about the day after tomorrow, and all the tomorrows that follow it, are as many and as varied as the people writing. (7) This is a book of warning. It is a reminder that what we have is valuable, and that sometimes we take what we value for granted. There are three phrases that make possible writing about the world of not-yet (you can call it science fiction or speculative fiction; you can call it anything you wish) and they are simple phrases: What if…? If only…? If this goes on… (12) “What if…?” gives us change, a departure from our lives (What if aliens landed tomorrow and gave us everything we wanted, but at a price?) “If only…” lets us explore the glories and dangers of tomorrow. (If only dogs could talk. If only I were invisible.) (16) “If this goes on…” is the most predictive of the three, although it doesn’t try to predict an actual future with all its messy confusion. Instead, “If this goes on…” fiction takes an element of life today, something clear and obvious and normally something troubling, and asks what would happen if that thing, that one thing, became bigger, became all-pervasive, changed the way we thought and behaved.

Using the Entire Space, Display the Image of What Your Dystopia Would Look Like
Hello everyone! All Assignments Due by Friday, April 10th During week two your unit will be centered around the writing of the famous author Ray Bradbury. For those of us who have read Fahrenheit 451, you will recognize the main character, The Pedestrian, as Clarisse’s uncle. For those of you who have not read Fahrenheit 451, this might be a great time to download it and give it a try. Ray Bradbury wrote about dystopias. That therefore leads me to your first assignment. Task One: Do research on a dystopia. What is it? On a document or slide, define a dystopia in the middle and then around the definition you will be creating a visual of what your own personal dystopia would look like. This can be done on a Google Slide or Doc using images and words. If you are working offline, you will write/draw this by hand. Using the entire space, display the image of what your dystopia would look like. Include homes, buildings, means of travel (road or air vehicles, etc.), people, clothing, animals, and other elements that you might see in your city. Be creative! In addition, dystopias typically have laws that must be followed. Include some of the laws or rules one might have to obey while living in this environment. Effort must be visible. The grade is based on content, creativity, neatness, accuracy, and effort! Rubric Category Points Available Points Earned Creativity 10 points ______ Neatness 5 points ______ Content 10 points ______ Laws 10 points ______ Task Two: Read the short story The Pedestrian.

Introduction 1 Innovations in 1920S and 1930S Hollywood
Notes Introduction 1. Otis Ferguson, “Life Goes to the Pictures,” in Robert Wilson, The Film Criticism of Otis Ferguson (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1971), 4. 2. Those Who Made It is the latest entry in a select group of comparable interview collections that features Hollywood personnel speaking out about their work behind the camera. One of the earliest was Austin C. Andrew Sarris’s Interviews with Film Directors (1967), an anthology conducted by a variety of interviewers; Leonard Maltin’s Behind the Camera (1971), featuring five interviews with cinema- tographers Hal Mohr, Conrad Hall, Hal Rosson, Lucien Ballard, and Arthur Miller; Kevin Brownlow’s three volumes of interviews chronicling the silent era, The Parade’s Gone By, The War the West and the Wilderness, Behind the Mask of Innocence ( 1968–1990); and Joseph McBride’s two- volume Filmmakers on Filmmakingg (1983), derived from a series of seminars conducted by the American Film Institute. My own previous contribution to this series is my edited volume, Introduction to the Photoplay (1977), an annotated collection of Hollywood n otables— including pro- ducer Irving Thalberg, art director William Cameron Menzies, scriptwriter Clara Beranger— speaking out at a seminar at USC in 1929 on topics relating to the dawn of sound. All, save Brownlow’s Parade’s Gone By, are long out of print. 3. Jean- Luc Godard, Introduction a une veritable histoire du cinema (Paris: Albatros, 1980), 100. 4. William Hazlitt’s “On the Conversation of Authors” was first published in the London Magazine, September, 1820 and reprinted in P.P. Howe, ed., The Best of Hazlittt (London: Methuen, 1947).

(2012). Man and Technology: Alienation in Ray Bradbury’s “The Murderer” and “The Pedestrian” A Master’s Project, M.A. (English), Bangkok: Graduate School, Srinakarinwirot University. Advisor Committee: Dr. Supaporn Yimwilai, Dr. Prapaipan Aimchoo, Dr. Somsak Kaewnuch. This research examined the impacts of technology on the main characters in Ray Bradbury’s short stories, “The Murderer” and “The Pedestrian.” In addition, it compared the impacts of technology on the main characters in “The Murderer” and “The Pedestrian.” The concept of alienation was employed to analyze the two selected stories. It was found that in both stories, technology had negative impacts on both main charaters. In “The Murderer,” Albert Brock felt alienated in four aspects: powerlessness, meaninglessness, normlessness, and social isolation. Meanwhile, Leonard Mead in “The Pedestrian,” was determined to be alienated in three aspects: meaninglessness, normlessness, and social-isolation.
