The Road Setting

This book starts off with a lot of imagery and you could picture what everything looks like because of all the detail. It really hooks you in from the beginning of the book. "They pushed on together with the tarp pulled over them. The wet gray flakes twisting and falling out of nothing. Gray slush by the roadside. Black water running from under the sodden drifts of ash" (McCarthy 16). This is describing all the snow that was coming down and they were trying to make shelter in the dark. You can already see the author being very descriptive from the start of the book. The setting of this book includes mountains and many rivers all during a nuclear winter where there is not a lot of life and only a father and a son trying to survive. This setting is hard to survive in and I think we will see a lot of challenges and cliffhangers during this book The Road.

    I like how you give a qoute of how much description he uses when describing the setting because you can imagine how they are sitting while the snow was falling

    I like how the quote you gave gives so much information about the setting. I feel that I am at that place right now.

    This looks like the type of movie/book i would watch/read. I love thinking about how humans react when placed in an apocalyptic setting.

    This looks like a very inspiring book/movie. It looks like an emotional roller coaster and a very good book/movie overall.

    This Book sounds a lot like my book. It catches your attention from the very beginning and is very interesting right from the first page to the last page

    The quote paints an image in my mind. I can see everything down to the last brush stroke.

    I like how instead of just telling us that it has a lot of imagery. You give us a quote so we can experience it for ourselves.

    This book looks like it contains a lot of imagery and description. I love the outdoors so I think I'm interested in reading this book.
