Cormac Mcarthy What is the road

The Road is a book that is meant open the readers mind to creativity. The deatails of the event that caused the apoaclypse where left out for this very reason. The book also shows Cormac's view on the direction our world is heading. The book shows what horrible things that we can do if ther were no laws. A lawless world invokes chaos. Chaos invokes death. Drath invokes suffering and hopelessness. Cormac is saying that the greed of human kind will be our downfall. Although there is still a hint of light in our burnt souls hence the main characters are manifistations the kindness and love the human heart can have. And it shows that we are not born evil but made evil. The boy is a representation of this.
