"The windows strangely intact". These are the words that caught my attention in The Road. Something violent has happened in the world and they cannot deal with it. They have to struggle to search for food and when they come upon a good window, it's as if they were seeing hope. They is slowly creeping over them like a shadow. But this man has to do a lot more than just brute force to keep himself and the boy alive. He has to think of everything as an opportunity to survive. Even though the gas station had no food, they were able to retrieve oil to keep themselves war. In these times they have to shift their way of thinking so that everything is a vital tool to survive.
Fortune favors the bold. That is what hopefully will happen to these two. But why is it that life beats down the innocent in the moment of greatest darkness? Even though we all know that it is truly a cruel world, why is it that it has to be especially cruel with those who are already wounded on the grown?
