This week we began reading the novel, "The Road", which is about a father and son duo on the journey of their lives. The father and son live in the land that has been ruined by fire and impossible to survive on a daily basis without difficulties. The boy was born into this horrid land and has never known any different than the desolate land he has come to know as home. The father on the other hand is extremely intelligent, I believe that he has some sort of ex-military or in the medical field. The reason I believe that he could be ex-military is because of his impeccable survival skills. Every time they walk and find a place to stay, the father listens to their surroundings and determines if they are safe or not. Also, what he has packed in each of their knapsacks are logical and for are their basic necessities. Why I believe he possibly has a medical background is because he has knowledge of the body. Before he shot the man he explained to him that he would not be able to hear the firing of the gun because the bullet would already be in his brain killing him. Also, he knows how long each of them can last without having food, but only having water. The man is very protective of his son and will not let anything happen to him no matter how dangerous of situations they face.
I am excited to read the rest of the book and find out what happens to the father son duo.
