At this point in The Road the boy has taken more knowledge from his surroundings. This is shown in the quote “They would have killed us.” This was a scene where the boy asked his father…(blah blah read the book). From this quote I take that the boy is more self aware and is able to accept certain things as impossible. This quote also discusses how heartless the cannibals are and how willing they would kill the boy and the man.
No I don’t want to eat people this is part of what I got from the quote “We wouldn’t eat anybody, would we?” I also understood that the boy still wants to be a “good guy” and is conditioned by his father, that not eating others is what makes them good.
Part B
The poem The Hollow Men used a lot of allusions. But the basically Eliot believes the world will end quietly, unlike the road where it seems like something happened that destroyed everything at once and with a big bang.
