So far the reader was presented with the world of the two characters, in which they are living in. The main characters are a father and his son, and they are survivors of a global disaster. they are heading south towards the coast in hope of salvation and a chance of survival. In the story the man carries around a pistol for protection and that makes me wonder if the world of the book has been completely demolished so that the people of the world have turned into such savages, and are untrustworthy as they try to survive in the aftermath of the destruction. This also leads onto the fact that the whole text of the book has been stripped of emotion and description as the land in the book. Everything is scorched so the characters don't show any emotions at all , even when they pass through many corpses because I think that they might go insane and crazy if they start thinking about such small things. I predict that later on in the book the duo might meet somebody who they give shelter, but he runs off with their food and equipment. Also I think that the dreams that the man is experiencing might drive him to insanity because on page 10 paragraph 2 there is the description of how the man acted after seeing the dreams and his memories. Finally, the writer uses the fact that the characters are anonymous and are simply a silhouette. Also there is no names and there is no descriptions of the face creating a mythic feeling.  This is it for today's update, but i'll post more later on. ©
