BA#1: McCarthy's The Road

I: Many secrets are unrevealed through McCarthy’s blunt writing style. The reader is left pondering about when the disaster took place. The passages on PG. 52, says the power was out, not leaving specific detail as to when. Only left the blunt time of 1:17, not aware if it’s day or night.

II: This is connected to the secret, what the disaster? In the novel, details such as “ashes” only leave you thinking fire, an element caused by many disasters. Not knowing when or what left me wondering what is behind the characters journey and where they are off to.

III: These unraveled secrets are not significant when it comes to understanding the general story, but for curious readers, they’re left wondering what the disaster is, whether it’s supernatural or war, causing such instability. PG. 17 notes the characters’ struggle, as a reader I wonder what cause motivated the author.
