The Road-144
There was definitely a lot going on in this section. We finally get to see the bad guys and to be honest I wasn't sure what I expected them to be like. However I didn't expect the situation to be as bad or gruesome as it occurred. I am surprised how well the boy is handling all these events. Yes he does get scared and cries, it's natural but the way he reacts/acts is not "normal" for a young boy. It could just be the way his father has raised him. He could have raised him to expect these sort of things in order to survive and read dangerous situations better. I did get confused on page 155 though. "Coming through the canebrake into the road he'd seen a box. A thing like a child's playhouse. He realized it was where they lay watching the road. Lying in wait and ringing the bell in the house for their companions to come." I've reread this part multiple times but I'm still not understanding, though I could just be over thinking it.

I agree yoaly, I had a hard time trying to understand what the playhouse stood for. I agree with Kayla and think that it was used by the bad guys in order to lure others into their house. I also thought the situation of th bad guys would be different in that they acted as though what they did was completely normal with no sign of remorse but i know it's because of how they've had to live.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kingsly and Arlene I now understand that part better. It was really shocking and vivid to read that part and I cringed just reading it. It's truly sickening to know that they would do this to another human being.
