Sure you have some nice people, who have shown you where you live and given you items to help, but day to day, you will be on your own trying to become accustomed to your new life. You won’t have that translator every moment to explain how to turn on a stove or how to work the toilet. Being unable to communicate sets up its own difficulties, but to add all the unfamiliar aspects of this new life, can cause many additional problems.

Lambda Alpha International Lecture The lecture of Lambda Alpha was very interesting and I learned a lot from each of the presenters who talked about the certain areas of developing land and making use of limited space and property. Developing land is more complicated than expected. Not only does a developer have to deal with the government, but also deal with people, politicians, and time and place of the project development. What the three presenters touched most on was the mix use district. These districts are designed to minimize traffic outside of an area and keep it local and in one place so that people can get to commercial areas without having to go far and supposedly have an easier experience of shopping.
It is important to disconnect from technology for a while, and reconnect with the world. When Sullivan “unplugged” from his iPod, he says, “I felt just a little bit connected again and a little more aware” (319). Akbari also believes that while people are disconnected it “fuels creativity and identity construction, and ultimately makes our re-immersion into the connected life that much richer (3). Sullivan and Akbari both agree that technology is limiting face-to-face communication and interactions. There are more people connected to technology through work, personal lives, and school then ever before.
Gebusi adapted to the outside influences and were more open to trade and to depend on other people for goods. Some of these goods include food, clothing, and entertainment.

In “The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury, the author uses original, creative and vivid imagery to show that being original, productive and creative can open up to more vivid and richer experiences, like walking and exploring new places rather than conforming to other people and not doing anything productive at all. The author also uses simple but powerful diction to foreshadow the sad ending of conforming to the law as stated by the police car rather than ignoring the police car, which can happen simply because of conforming to other people or things. This story is about a man arrested in one night for walking along the streets and not staying home like other people. The creative and vivid imagery that the author adds into this story gives a link between the loneliness of the streets and being the only one and original. Being original can be scary and can tempt you into conforming to something else, but one can become dull and boring from being forced by the society to conform to the rest of the people.

Even the setting, a house in the city, is easy enough to relate too. But more than just using a house for relating purposes, a home is a place of safety and comfort in our minds. The horrific consequences occur in the Smith’s home, give the reader an extra edge of anxiety to the story since most do not imagine that actual terrors invade the places we consider ourselves safest. In the beginning, there are references to India and the jungle.
If immigrants try to actually be part of a new country, they sometimes forget about where they were born and where they grew up. When they get depressed or have any trouble it is very helpful to have someone, from their native country, to call. Also, having some good remembers is really good in order to avoid or overcome a depression caused by being lonely. Also there is a fact that immigrants that try to become a new member of a new culture will never be able to change and that is where they were born, or in other words their native country. Trying to completely assimilate an unknown culture might be very risky for some reasons.
He discussed that some ways to do this would be to live with far less problems, not be in such a hurry, not eat so much to limit waste, and stop living so luxuriously. Thoreau spends more time in this story describing the normal daily life in towns and cities than his simple life in the woods. He did not do this because he preferred life in the city. Thoreau might have done this to show the many things that are wrong with life in the city and all the negative impacts the way of life that people who live in the city live. It is hard to convince people how much better it is to live the simple life and give up all of their
