The Road/Poetry Section


Well, we are almost to the end of The Road and I have to say that I’m enjoying the book a little bit more. I don’t exactly love it, but at least I don’t hate it. The assignment that we just did today in class was very helpful for me to understand Cormac McCarthy’s writing style. Honestly, McCarthy’s writing style was my least favorite part about this book. Almost everything he did in the book was wrong in my eyes because I was taught differently, along with all my other classmates. It just didn’t seem right when he typed it on paper. It was very annoying.
I’m really glad that we’re almost done with the book. Even though I didn’t hate, I don’t see myself reading it again in the future. It’s not a typical book that I read. It’s like an emotional rollercoaster, but it has way more depressing moments. In fact, almost the entire novel is depressing. If anyone knows me, they know that I’m not too fond of things that seem depressing to me.
This has nothing to do with the book, but I am extremely excited about the poetry section. I’ve had a small interest in poetry since sophomore year. It’s best part about English to me. J
