Continued faith


If I was ever in this sort of situation where the world was simply......dead, I would simply tell myself that god self it a long time ago and loose faith completely. However, the boy and the son still show signs that they remain persevering, and actually faithful to god. And i have no idea why.
This idea had been developing along with the story but I never really noticed it until around page 61 in the word document version. They had just found plenty of food and the father made the kid say a thanks to the people who had provided such feast for the two of them. What caught my attention was the last line of the prayer from the boy that said "we
hope that you're safe in heaven with god" (61p.). Due to the lack of detail and feel in the book, I don't really know well how the man reacted to this last quote. But by the looks of it, they were indeed blessed with what was yet to come. The boy was able to take a bath with warm water at last and they washed their clothes as well. They were almost living like an ordinary family in the house. Does faith and hard work to get the things you want really get you things like these in the worst of situations? Apparently yes in this case.
Looks life fortune really does favor favor the bold. I say this because I don't really think there are too many people like these in the world they are living in now. They are probably the only father and son within 10000 miles. Even an old man says "I never thought to see a child
again (71 p.). If this man old man is saying something like that, then there hasn't been achild anywhere near for quite a long time. So looks like they really are a very bold pair. They act as one instead of two individuals who depend on each other. They make sure the other one is Ok before moving on. They get their act together to mover forward. But most importantly, the love each other.
