The Road


I enjoy reading The Road for the most part. It started to get a little repetitive but tonight’s reading was a lot more interesting. I gore doesn’t bother me at all and it is not as bad as it was going to be. When we were talking about it in class I thought it was going to be a lot worse. I don’t mind his reading style at all, I actually kind of like it. I don’t really notice it much when I am reading because it just makes sense with the way that I think. However, I do have a problem with the characters in the book, mainly the dad. I think he is very selfish and kind of dumb. I don’t understand why anyone would want to live like that when they have nothing to look forward to. They are trying to get south, but for what? It is still going to be a struggle to survive down there. And it is cruel to make your son live through the misery. It may be hard to kill him but if the dad believes in heaven then he should want to be in a better place. It just doesn’t make sense to me because they are suffering for what? For nothing.
