''What would you do if I died?
If you died I would want to die too.
So you could be with me?
Yes. So I could be with you.
Okay.'' (PG. 11)
Here the only hope that lays to the future of these two, the father and the son, is heaven. sadly, their lives don't see any other alternative, and probably none of us would. I mean, living in a world where you are living in a horrible winter, with little to cover you, and also with the fear of cannibals coming to hunt and eat you, and with little to eat, I could see that they are actually being as realistic as they can be. But I guess that we need hope in order to continue to live, or else then their is no point in living, if their is nothing to look forward into the future.
Part of the idea that The Road tries to buy also is that even though their is no hope for the novel, their is hope for us. Their is hope that we can be able to tackle the some of the problems that threaten mankind and our civilization, such as climate change and be able to act before it becomes too late.
Tittle: Did you mean, "Is There Any Hope?"
ReplyDelete"The book, even if God is mentioned, sees a world where their is no Hope." This sentence sounds a little awkward since the God idea is very out there. Maybe you could develop this idea better in orderer the reader to completely understand your point.
In the following sentence, "Sadly that is what The Road portrays, as if the only hope was to die and see each other in heaven", you're contradicting yourself from stating there is no sense of hope in The Road to mentioning a type of hope depicted in the novel. Also, specify who you're talking about.
Remember! When citing, for example "Okay.'' (PG. 11), include the author's last name and the page number the quote was taken from. In this case it would be, "Okay," (Fitzgerald,11)
"Here the only hope that lays to the future of these two, the father and the son, is heaven." I would improve this sentence by choosing better words and amplifying on the idea of heaven, getting rid of the receptiveness.
"sadly, their lives don't see any other alternative, and probably none of us would. I mean, living in a world where you are living in a horrible winter, with little to cover you, and also with the fear of cannibals coming to hunt and eat you, and with little to eat, I could see that they are actually being as realistic as they can be. " Again try to use different words in order no avoid receptiveness. Work on the run on sentence!
"But I guess that we need hope in order to continue to live, or else then their is no point in living, if their is nothing to look forward into the future." Okay I understand you're point! Try juxtapositioning this contrasting idea with your previous statements, analyzing the father and his son's hope in life. You're saying that they only hope for death, but that you need hope to live. Expand on this idea!
"Part of the idea that The Road tries to buy also is that even though their is no hope for the novel, their is hope for us. Their is hope that we can be able to tackle the some of the problems that threaten mankind and our civilization, such as climate change and be able to act before it becomes too late." Edit this paragraph! Perhaps into something like: Fitzgerald's purpose in The Road is to open our eyes before something we might take for granted: hope. Through the characters, the reader can relate to this loss of hope and might find a reason to get it back. If mankind lacked hope, there wouldn't be any kind of advance. People would be satisfied with what they had and wouldn't feel the need to improve. Hope is the trigger in us to keep on going. Without it, we might as well stick to a road leading us nowhere.
