Ana: If you had to sum up The Road in one word, what would it be and why?
How would the book be different if there was no child (only the wife and the man), if the child would have been a girl, OR if the mother and the boy would have been the ones to survive?]]> 2020-02-21 13:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/66hyl4t8d27g/wish/448558240 giu_mcn762 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/66hyl4t8d27g/wish/449855822 Although both worlds are not ideal living circumstances, I would rather live in the world of 1984. Living in this monitored society where the people have access to some amenities is better than scrounging and fighting to survive with little resources like in The Road. ]]> 2020-02-25 01:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/66hyl4t8d27g/wish/449855822 giu_mcn762 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/66hyl4t8d27g/wish/449856878 The word I would use to sum up The Road is hope. Throughout the man and boy's journey, the duo kept moving forward with desires for their future. The love that these two share is powerful, and they inspire this hope among themselves. ]]> 2020-02-25 01:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/66hyl4t8d27g/wish/449856878 giu_mcn762 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/66hyl4t8d27g/wish/449857908 If the mother and the boy were the ones to survive, the whole story would be different. Although the wife's motherly instinct would cause her to tend to the boy's needs and strive for survival, their chances of surviving as long as the man and the boy did would be much lower. ]]> 2020-02-25 01:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/66hyl4t8d27g/wish/449857908
