These chapters show the drive of what an individual can have. For example, Chapter 11 shows the drive of gay wanting to fix the Model T car to get to Carmel Hill. In chapter 13, Mark, the boys, and Eddie find a carburetor to fix up the Model T car. In the world today, people need to have the drive of what these boys do to get the job done. In chapter 12, I found it interesting that on their way to find a new carburetor they find carrots, chicken, and all the others supplies to cook the chicken all at one place. The scenery in these chapters were very vivid and made me feel as though I was in the story. For example, The curving bay with the waves creaming on the sand, the dunes country around seaside and right at the bottom of the hill, the
The symbolism within the book is all super important. I think one thing that really symbolizes the theme I stated above, is within page 164. Within this page you see a random Old Man struggling and walking the same way the Boy and the Man are walking. The Boy says “We have to give him something to eat” (164) on multiple occasions, begging to help the Older Man and to give him a can of fruit.
chapters 7-9 Happiness is finally a tone in this book rather than the recurring somber moments throughout chapters 1-6.

The story plot that the novel contained flew in ease and understanding to one’s familiarity. But what was amazing what his form of playing with diction too that surprised me the most asides the tricks he played with imagery. Without imagery, a book would pretty much have no meaning and would lose the sense of reading it till the very end. And what I loved about the author was that he kept on putting in words purposely in the right place at the right time of keep you in the game of entertainment. For example in quote’s like, “The guard with no rifle came to the rear of the truck.
O’Brien uses intense imagery and thorough descriptions to allow readers
As they are moving they go through a lot of hardships and lose some family members, because the move was too rough on them. The book has a theme of endurance that applies to many characters, especially the main one, Tom Joad. I explored the theme of the character Ma Joad. In the beginning of the book, Ma Joad is not the one that makes the decisions, Pa Joad is. Later
The author of Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie uses chapter titles to lighten the mood, foreshadows the chapter, and shows how important Jeffrey is to Steven. One use of the chapter titles is that they help add a humorous tone to the novel. For example, one of the chapter names is “A Man’s Journey” (Sonnenblick). The chapter title sounds silly and goofy. You most likely wouldn’t guess that the chapter says, “There were sick kids everywhere一walking with IV poles, playing games, lying in beds, watching TV, sleeping.”
The Road by Cormac McCarthy develops themes through its characters. The main characters of the novel are both are close although they have contrasting personalities. The use of dialogue along with literary elements to pushes forward the developing theme. McCarthy develops a theme of self-preservation versus altruism. McCarthy portrays the man threw the novel as a symbol of self-preservation due to the fact that he will only fight for his son as well as himself, never for others.
It is shown that Steinbeck has remained loyal to setting but has made subtle changes to improve the overall reading quality of the novella. The beginning of chapter one and six both are set beside the silinas river. In chapter one, the mood is very peaceful, possibly representing the calm before the storm. This is proven by quotes like ‘slipped twinkling over the yellow sands’ or ‘the leaves lie deep and crisp’. In contrast to this the mood at the end of the novella is much more disrupted.
For example, when Jess, Eddie and Sam were in the abandon cabin they experienced an earthquake. The reader can sense the frightfulness they must have endured as trees tumbled down everywhere around them in the forest. The author also describes in detail how the heat from the blast felt so hot that every breath was like inhaling fire. Thankfully, Jess figured out that if she tucked her shirt over her mouth she could breath. This intrigues us to read on as the reader wants more details on what she is going through and how she survived.

The novel tells a story of an unnamed man and his son in who struggle to survive in this horrific environment. I feel that the language in the novel is verbose. McCarthy is blunt in his descriptions. He uses repeated struggles and similar scenes forcing the reader to share the tough experience of the characters. I agree with the author that The Road is the picture of a post-apocalyptic world.
