The End

I am not a creative person so I am not going to write another chapter but I am going to discuss the ending of The Road. I hated the ending. I think that they both should have died. Yes, it would have been even more depressing but it would have been more believable. The fact that right after the father died a man shows up to take care of the boy is way to convenient and kind of annoying. The boy should either have died or learned how to take care of himself or literally anything other than what happened. Also, the man’s death was very short and not as drawn out as I thought it was going to be. The whole book is kind of repetitive and makes their suffering very detailed, but then the man just kind of dies…no big deal. I think that the boy is going to die very soon anyways even though he is with this “family” or whatever they are. There is no way that they all can survive. Unless there is some unknown place that the man and boy didn’t know about… they are going to starve and die. Basically, McCarthy should have made the boy die.
