This extract was very long and large and a few important scenes have happened throughout the extract. First of all, the farther and the boy and starving and they find a barn with fresh water and lots of apples in the yard. This creates a sensation of relief and some peacefulness, for the reader, after the incident with the cannibals, because we now know that the son and the farther are not going to die as soon and will live a bit longer. However the crucial scene in the extract is when the farther and the boy find a bunker filled with masses of food. This creates a feeling of joy and the charred life in the book as if gets a shade of color to it. In the bunker they find meat, wheat, clothes, water and other essentials for survival. however the farther doesn't find a gun but a lot of ammunition, which doesn't fit the revolver, so this suggests that the owner and creator of the bunker must have left and taken the rifle with him. Nevertheless the boy and farther leave after a few days of staying there because it is dangerous for them as others might find it. Finally the boy and the farther see a old man on the road who is called Ely. The boy pleads to give him food and after long persuasion the farther allows him. This points out that the farther is not as friendly to others as the boy, probably because the boy is little and doesn't fully understand the concepts of the world. Ely, also, symbolizes a scavenger who lives off of what he can find. The man is also touched when he sees the little boy, implying that the world hardly has any children in it. new post coming soon.
