The Road

This past section has complete changed my opinion of this book. Before reading the third section I really disliked the book because it was just dragging on. The boy and man had no purpose of going on and they were clearly miserable. When they finally found food in the shelter they had time to recuperate and eat. They were really close to death before their discovery and it was just painful to read about their struggles. When they found the bunker they suddenly had more than they needed and the story became interesting. If McCarthy hasn't added this part to the story than I would have kept my same opinion of the book. Now my opinion has shifted to enjoyment of the book and anticipation of what is to come. Now since they have found food, it is more enjoyable to read about their journey because they aren't so desperate. My two topics for the envelope project are keeping me interested in the book too. Religious comments are made all the time. At first I thought that he was just calling to God in times of struggles and blaming God but now I believe that his faith and purpose for life is rooted in his son. His son has become his own religion. My second topic is ash and fire. The word ash is mentions practically on every page so I have to pick the most important references. I am actually eager to continue on because of the latest section.
