What I've learnt about The road..

It is known as a road story..

It takes the characters on a journey but they stick to the same path. They meet unusual and new character along the journey. Road storys are mainly american.

It is a low cultured book..

It is known as being low cultured because it is disposable, it is quick to read and trys to elevate the low culture.

It is a post modern novel..

The novel is diliberatly contradictive. We are made to believe it is not real as the world has ended.The novel ignores ignores regular conventions. It is short and simple and most of the time we are left to guess who is speaking in the novel.

McCarthy took idea for the bookk from 'Dawn of the dead' and ' Texas chain saw masacre'.

For example when the man and his son enter the house of cannibals the idea was taken from 'Texas chain saw masacre'.

The novel is a Post apocolyptic Story.

-The world has ended and there is a world of death (deathscape)

-Journey.
