The Road, section 2
As I read more and more into The Road, I keep noticing more and more how the father and son keep coming facing to face with adversity. At one point in the book, the father and son were hiding in the woods from "bad guys" and the father really contemplated killing his son so they wouldn't get him but luckily they were never found.That's why he's been asking himself "Can you do it?" because he doesn't know if he will should the time come. Another was that they were just in the woods, where it as freezing but couldn't do much about it or else they would risk being caught. The father also continues to hear his son say he wishes to die and only worsens the situation they're already in.

I noticed the continuing struggle the father is having too, Rodrigo. He is not sure whether or not he should end the boy's life, because he feels the boy may have a more painful death if they keep going. The father remains somewhat positive, however, and he and the boy continue on.
