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 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 ]]> 2017-01-10 21:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146395983 https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396037 He creates an environment where humanity means nothing.
- by highlighting cannibalism. Not only having adults be killed but also children.

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. ]]> 2017-01-10 21:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396070 https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396071
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. ]]> 2017-01-10 21:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396071 https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396113 Gave no names to the main characters because they are away from civilization

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.]]> 2017-01-10 21:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396293 https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396344 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. ]]> 2017-01-10 21:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396344 https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396532 Clinical, but vivid descriptions to show how everyone, including the man, had lost all empathy.]]> 2017-01-10 21:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396532 https://padlet.com/klwilliams4/o9b01q5kt3gq/wish/146396910 The good and bad dreams seemed to be switched.
