The Road part 2
Throughout this section papa keeps repeating to the little boy that they will not die and never seems to lose hope that they will find a way to survive. He finally seems to overcome the adversity when they get into a house that has a lot of food in which the boy will stop being hungry and stop being cold. However, it is bitter sweet because he know that they must journey into another obstacle and face yet more adversity. But, he is positive about the situation he is in and keeps motivating the boy to keep going.

I feel like the house filled with food was a reward to the Man and the Boy for surviving in those conditions for so long, and was a way for them to be able to continue on to adversity that laid ahead.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment Kayla. The reward seemed to come at just the right time to keep the man and the boy alive and to give them enough hope to continue.
ReplyDeleteArlene, I like how the father just keeps going. He keeps telling his son that they won't die despite the reality that they might. But it keeps him motivated to keep going. Unfortunately I don't see the son thinking on the same level because there are times when he says he wants to die (or go with his mom in another way) or he will completely shut down. But the food finding was very good and I will admit I was worried when the father wouldn't say what it was right away.
