Leonard Mead "The Pedestrian" is unique in his society for walking every evening by himself, a tradition he has had every evening. He is the only walker in the society. Meads' behavior is seen to be threatening by the powers in charge who believe that his determination of walking at night could upset the social stability.
His house lacks a viewing screen which is expected o the members of his society.
He is ostracized for being different to the rest of the society i.e., He is arrested by the automated police car which is an instrument of the government powers in control. It disproves his behavior, which the entire society does as well.His lit house further symbolizes his difference from the rest of the society.
In this world, there is no room for human discretion and judgment as the world is fully automated. The viewing screen is a distraction to the family to keep them under a watchful eye of the government. It is easier for the government to control a public that is stationed in front of its Tv set than a roaming public that is walking.

Describe three elements or principles of art found in the mona lisa. what purpose do the art elements or design principles have

wel

<span>The Mona Lisa has many principals of art found within it. One is contrast. As you look at the painting, colors in the background are much lighter in tone than the foreground. The foreground uses darker colors, giving a more serious feel to the subject matter. Another principle found in the Mona Lisa is proportion. When viewing the painting, the Mona Lisa is much larger that the landscape items behind her. This proportion draws the eye to the body of Mona Lisa, as she is the main subject of the painting. Lastly, we find the principle of unity throughout the painting. All of the colors blend together with little contrast, giving a monochromatic feel to the painting, with little to distract the viewer's eye.</span>
