The man's constant coughing foreshadows his death.

The young boy constantly responds with just "Okay" because he feels the need to be obedient to survive, and he was born in an apocalyptic time and hasn't learned much.

The good and bad dreams seemed to be switched. You had good dreams before you die and bad dreams when you are still alive because you are still fighting.

Clinical, but vivid descriptions to show how everyone, including the man, had lost all empathy.

The entire book was empty, descriptions mundane. It lacked the punctuation it needed to speed or slow the movement, which beautifully matched the mood and theme. It plodded along at its constant, unchanging speed, like the never-ending journey of the father and his son. The structure of the words matched the world around them.

The author did not include punctuation to reflect the ongoing worry he had running through his mind. The missing punctuation in the dialogue between the man and his son emphasizes the idea that life will start over in this post-apocalyptic world. They basically have to let go of their old knowledge to start over in this new, different world.

Gave no names to the main characters because they are away from civilization

The lack of chapter headings shows how in an apocalyptic world, time and spacing in between events doesn't really matter. The way the chapters blend together shows how insignificant events and time are when the world has become chaotic and time has become irrelevant. When you're just struggling to survive and get your next meal, time is the last thing that really matters.

The lack of quotation marks within the dialogue in the book demonstrates how alone the man and the boy are. Quotation marks are really unnecessary anyways because the majority of the dialogue is only between the man and boy, so it's easy to follow along with and still be able to comprehend what is going on in the story. Just knowing that quotation marks were not needed because of how little characters there were shows how isolated they were.

McCarthy employs an ambiguous element (in terms of no explicit names for the characters). However, a can of soda (coca-cola) is named to bring part of humanity into the man's current world. The boy is able to experience luxury.

He creates an environment where humanity means nothing.
- by highlighting cannibalism. Not only having adults be killed but also children.

The author used a very informal and relaxed structure with no chapters, no quotations, and funky paragraphs. He did this to display that life to him is dismal and all blends together. The structure also adds to the feel of a personal dialogue

# data[].attributes.body
the story lacks structure (punctutation, chapters, details) because it is supposed to relfect the life after the apocolypse. No names because it doesnt matter in a society where all you do is keep who you want close and you already know them. Also don't need any details, but that also doesn't matter in a world where there is no need to describe to others. He lacks what the world doesn't need purpose for anymore or doesn't have

Has no chapters because life in mundane and drones on until the end
