THE ROAD part 1

The book THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy is about a father and his son is wondering on a road after a nuclear winter. They are both wearing some type of bag to keep their stuff they find in it. But the father has a gun for protection because there are some people on the road that are not really nice. So one day as they were walking they find a barn with a pigs butt on the door. So when the father opened the barn door, inside was all dark not much light and depressing. Then when they look up they see three dead bodies hanging in the rafters. In today’s reading I read that when the father and son were walking they walk right by the father’s house in which he grew up in. The son was saying that he doesn’t want to go in, that his is too scared to go in. Then when they got in there wasn’t really anything there. Then after they came out of the house they started to head towards the mountains and the father was thinking about if they would have enough food to last going through the mountains.

The book I am reading is Gym Candy. But I am already done reading it.

Broderick I like the language you used. Especially how you described the pig hides.
