BA #2 McCarthy's The Road

In the book there are many secrets that are never told to us. We do not know what happen in the disaster and we do not know what happened to the boy at the end. We do not know if the father is later eaten by other people once every leaves him. We also do not know if the entire world survives this catastrophe. We never find out what really happens to the world. Is this a disaster that happens to the U. S. only or did it happen world wide? Was it a meteor or an earthquake or bombs? Could it be a series of bad events? We will never know and that is kind of disappointing. At the end of the book the boy leaves with these people who we are lead to believe are 'good'. We are lead to think that because the man covers papa with the blankets like he said he was going to. Also, the man said to the boy to keep the gun. The mom also hugs and holds the boy as if he was her own, weather or not she was checking him out to eat later or not we will never know. This women could have really loved the boy also. Did they ever make it out of the chaos that they are in and find civilization? I hope everything works out for them and they are able to find some stability somewhere and can settle down again, but who knows.
