In "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy you can tell that there was a huge imagination involved. McCarthy’s' way of writing captures the reader. The words he uses make things very interesting and descriptive. His way of writing captures your imagination and can make you imagine that you are in his shoes. You can easily picture the story in your head. In the last few pages were very capturing. While at the man and his son were at the beach they get their things stolen. The man finds boot prints nearby the place that they had left their things. The man and his son follow the boot prints till they find the man that had stolen their things. After they get their things back the man had left the other man naked on the road. The boy begins to cry. The man and boy get in an argument and man tells the boy that had to do it. He tells the boy that he’s not the one that has to worry about things. In response the boy tells him that he does. When the boy said that he was the one that had to worry was meant that he had to worry about his father’s well being. Although the boy is so young he notices things that the man thinks he doesn’t. Although the man attempts to hide what is going on with him the boy still notices what happens to his father.
At the end it was the boy that had to worry all the time. Although the boy did get sick, the man was the one that was constantly sick throughout the whole story and the boy noticed that. I believe that the boy knew from the beginning that his father was going to die. On page seventy-two the boy asks his father what the bravest thing he had done was and the man responded “Getting up this morning.” With that fraise I think the man knew his death was near. At the end he sacrificed everything so long his son was well. When he was close to death he gave up food and everything. He knew he was going to die and that made the man give everything for his son because he knew he had no need for it. He knew he was close to death and he decided not to eat. He also gave him all his blankets. The book made me think a lot about the love a parent has for their children and how that causes them to sacrifice everything for them.
