Ray Bradbury, an opinion by me.
There is little that I like about Ray Bradbury's work (I have only read two by the way, my opinion is based on those (All Summer In A Day and The Pedestrian)). I personally think that yes, his writing is well-constructed and a good example of how to use figurative language and metaphors, but beyond that the ideas he writes about feel too outlandish for me to really appreciate his work for what it is.
In no world are humans ever going to become as addicted to their televisions as he suggests in The Pedestrian. Humans always have and always will experience the urge to not only rebel against authority, but but also return to nature and creativity.
Perhaps Ray Bradbury intends to make his audience upset with these writings. Perhaps their purpose is to deter humans from letting this become our future. If that is what he intends, then I respect him for it.
However, from the two that I've read, it doesn't come across as that. Maybe this is because both stories were published in 1950, but regardless, if these are not satirical, it seems foolish to think that humans would really become that attached to being inside and listening to authority (as seen in The Pedestrian) or allow themselves to be in a place where they can only go outside for one hour every seven years (All Summer In A Day).
This has been shown very well in the past few years. Covid 19, with people being stuck in their houses - and not even permanently, allowed out for short periods of exercise on the daily for some parts of the lockdowns - caused so many mental health issues and suicides related to the pandemic.
Looking at how governments all over the world are reacting to what has been happening in Gaza, for example, or the USA's anti-abortion laws, and laws that are so harmful to the LGBTQ+ community (specifically transgender people), a lot less people are willing to trust the government than Ray Bradbury seems to have predicted in The Pedestrian.
Not only this, but governments all over the world are putting restrictions on the media that the people of their countries are allowed to engage with. The plot point of people being encouraged to watch their televisions so much is no longer realistic.
Ray Bradbury's work is impressive in that it uses good narrative techniques. Part of the horror in dystopian fiction comes from the chance that it could actually happen at some point in the future. The world has changed considerably in the past 70 years. Much of it is for the better, and a lot of it is for the worse. The changes we as a society have faced have made it incredibly unlikely for something similar to the two books, The Pedestrian and All Summer In A Day, to play out in real life. This removes much of the horror from those books, thus making them far less interesting to read now than they would have been even 40 years ago.
Oh my lord I am so sorry about this. I got really bored trying to answer questions about All Summer In A Day for English. Don't come at me, pretty please.
