The Road
I have noticed that the paragraphs are rather short. Yet, I find them to be detailed and interesting. Some paragraphs offer an insight into the past, what happened or other details. However, these insights are not random, as in they aren't placed where they are just because, I see that there is a connection with the insight and the previous paragraph about the story line. I see it almost like, something they see or experience triggers a memory and so they (mostly the father) relive it in their minds. Sometimes nice things like his childhood, and sometimes darker things involving the death of his wife. "You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget."

Yoaly, I hadn't thought about the placement of the flashback but I understand what you are talking about. I also believe that slowly the author is letting the reader understand how they came to be in the situation they are in.
ReplyDeleteYoaly I hadn't put much attention to the length in the paragraphs of this section but now that I think about it I believe the author made them like this so he can let include flashback of the mans life, showing how this post apocalyptic world came to be and to show why the man is still alive
