The Road

The book I'm reading is The Road which was written by Cormac McCarthy. I chose this book because I have seen the movie and would like to see the difference between that and the book. I actually had a couple of passages really hit me. At one point in the story, the father says to the son, "You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget",(Pg. 12). Another passage is about the father's belief of dreams. "He said the right dreams for a man in peril were dreams of peril and all else was the call of languor and of death",(Pg. 18). These passages hit me because there the moral lessons of the book, and I believe they are true.
