The Road

As I read this section of The Road, I was astonished when realizing how well the young boy has taken this whole situation his father and him live in. Yes, he has cried once in a while and has seemed to be worried when asking his father if they're going to live but  they've been confronted with the sighting of human beings in a basement suffering. This is a very gruesome occurance that many people wouldn't be able to handle. A weird thing that I found about this section is that the young boy and the man keep calling themselves "good guys." I believe this may be because they're setting a limit to something they don't want to become.

    I agree with you Lizette it is a gruesome place in which the young boy has had to grow and what he encounters has turned him into a strong boy what rarely expresses his feelings.

    Lizette, I agree about the reason they may be calling themselves "goodguys". Not only does it set a limit to what they could become, but I believe it sets them apart from the rest. Like another thing to think about to overcome an adversity. When they come across a difficult situation like starvation they think, hey we are good guys. And so it may have an influence on what they do.
