In fact, a majority pf them die before we can even learn much about their character. So it could have been improved if there was more female characters.]]> 2018-05-09 18:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jbenso0061/2izrpu9qsrng/wish/259403307 (McCarthy 116) jbenso0061 https://padlet.com/jbenso0061/2izrpu9qsrng/wish/259404409 "And the biggest problems they (teachers) could

The world is full of so much violence and chaos, that living to an old age seems somewhat impossible. This thought leads us to an interesting philosophy which promotes even more chaos and violence. McCarthy is trying to tell the reader that there is a self perpetuating problem within our society, and that it is getting worse.]]> 2018-05-09 18:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jbenso0061/2izrpu9qsrng/wish/259406245 (McCarthy 33) jbenso0061 https://padlet.com/jbenso0061/2izrpu9qsrng/wish/259512566 "It takes very little to govern good

The book presents an extremely nihilistic view which is hard to really think about. The idea that "the world is going to hell in a hand-basket" is not just true, its all around us. The book did a good job of showing how bad our society can become if we continue to lose morals and ethics.]]> 2018-05-10 03:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jbenso0061/2izrpu9qsrng/wish/259513132 The Banality of Evil jbenso0061 https://padlet.com/jbenso0061/2izrpu9qsrng/wish/259513507 This review touches on how nihilistic the book is and how evil Chigurh is within it. It mentions how evil triumphs at the end and I believe that represents the overall psychology. ]]> 2018-05-10 03:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jbenso0061/2izrpu9qsrng/wish/259513507 (McCarthy 28) jbenso0061 https://padlet.com/jbenso0061/2izrpu9qsrng/wish/259515890 "What's the most you ever saw lost on a coin toss?"
