  2. Thesis • In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, the gloominess in the surrounding brings death to both the Father and the Son; however, the difficult environments did not alter their points of view on humanity and persistence of surviving throughout the journey.

  3. “The old man drank the last of his coffee and set the bowl before him and leaned toward the heat with his hands out. The man watched him. " (McCarthy 169). Explanation: Although both the Father and the Son have limited amount of food, but they followed their conscience and shared some food with an unrelated old man. This photo shows that the Father and the Son share what they have to others even though they have limited sources to provide.

  4. "they could see out over the darkening country to the south, standing there in the wind, wrapped in their blankets, watching for any sign of a fire or a lamp. There was nothing. The lamp in the rocks on the side of the hill was little more than a mote of light" (McCarthy 9). Explanation: The Father and the Son are just like the slanted lamp with no light, but they still try to survive and stand straight and tall in the poor surroundings.

  5. "No sign of life. Cars in the street caked with ash, everything covered with ash and dust. Fossil tracks in the dried sludge. A corpse in a doorway dried to leather”(McCarthy 12). Explanation: The destructions of the houses and the cars signifies the imminent death, but the Father and the Son did not have a hint of thought of giving up the life.
