Week 4

I am still reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The man and the boy are still on their way to make it to the south. They live off of food from the celler, and it lasts quite a long time. Eventually, they meet an old man and the boy is nice enough to give a little food to him. The old man is grateful and keeps on walking down the road. The man and the boy then later on find out there are a few people behind them. The people pass them as they hide in the trees and the man notices that one of the women is pregnant. Later that night, the man and the boy found out where the people had camped and found a baby burned black in what used to be a fire. The man and the boy still keep heading south and eventually make it to the ocean. The ocean is not really blue anymore. The ocean is just gray with ashes. They are still cold and have no food.

I think this book is quite sad and depressing. There seems to be no hope of anything good happening to anybody in the whole book, besides finding food. It seems that it is just going to go on and on with the man and the boy looking for food and warmth. I don't have a clue to what can happen in this book later on, except for the man and the boy dying peacefully or something. I still think the book is interesting and it always keeps me wondering how the man and the boy are going to survive another day.
