Novel: The Road
Character: The boy
Section:5
I really wanted to help that boy today. He was just as old as me, what if I was alone in this world. I would want someone to help me for my safety, my father sees this as a trap. He doesn't think twice about helping anyone we may see along our way because he thinks the "others" are hiding. Although I know my father is trying his best for the both of us to survive, I feel as if he lies to me. I ask him multiple times about dying but he says we are not going to die. The way he says it makes me believe the opposite. Why would he lie to me about that? The snow and cold continued to be relentless and as we were camping in the snowy woods the trees began to fall. The ran as quick as possible and huddled under the tarp until they stopped. The next morning my father and I made a maze of tracks so we cant be followed, because the " bad guys" are coming. We than went somewhere else and we saw to men walk by but they never saw us. My father told me those were the guys, but I still don't understand how they're bad.
Character: The father
Section: 5
I saw my son running and shouting so I ran to grab him. He told me he saw another boy, about his age and was trying to help him but he was running away. I personally believe that these are traps for us to get caught. The others may be hiding as we go out to help one surviving in this world. We have been facing constant dangers such as fighting starvation, the cold, and evading the bad guys. Our only purpose for each day is to continue moving south and staying alive. Staying a live is becoming to be a challenge day by day but I cant say we are going to die to my son. I believe that positivity will only help us move forward at this point. I am anxious that my aging will not let us deal with the threats much longer as I realize my inability to the birds and colours. I am more startled to leave my son in this world himself but I believe that he can carry on if he understands to think as I do.
