Seora-Creating a timeline of the events(Assignment 2)

When I first opened this book, I just wanted to close it back because I knew at my first sight that it would be very difficult for me, and I wasn't wrong. It contains of so many difficult words that I can't understand and those that I have never seen before. And, the structure of the book was something that I have never seen before. The protagonist; which is "the man" has no name as you can see. And the other main character, which is his son, "the boy" has no name either. Another weird part is that there are no chapters. The story just goes on and on without it. I think this kind of structure was possible because the books' setting is post-apocalyptic and there are no main characters other than the man and the boy, also the plot of the story doesn't stop, and it just goes on as they are moving south.
From the first pages of 3 to 50, I couldn't really say that there were any events that were really interesting. In page 3, the man had a dream, where he was walking in a cave and he encountered a beast. This dream that he had made me think about the beast in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In page 4, the man said "There'd be no surviving another winter here", so I could suspect that the situation has been like this for a very long time. While he was moving toward south with his child, he was looking for anything of color, any movement, and any trace of smoke. I could see that the man feels a great responsibility of taking care of his son. They're always wearing tarp and carries an emergency bag in case they have to abandon their cart. While they were walking, they found a gas station in page 6. The man was looking for stuff that he could use and he fetched some oil for their lamp and he called his father's house. I think he was just having one last hope that his parents would be alive too. One page 8, it starts to rain, and on page 16, it snows. I found this very interesting because even though the world was doomed, atmospheric phenomena still exists. In page 12, I remember this because it touched me very much. The man said "You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget". After that, I couldn't see anything more interesting other than the memory of the man's perfect childhood. On page 21, they reached at the See Rock City. They went inside the supermarket and he could see the traces of other survivors out there. The man gave his son some Coca Cola. In this part, I'm sure that everyone reading it could feel the love between them. In page 24, they came upon an old frame house with chimneys and gables and a stone wall which is where the man grew up. The boy is scared to go in, but the man insists in going inside. I would have not wanted to go in either seeing all those bodies laying out in the road. What if my parents were in there lying on the floor, and I wouldn't want my childhood memories to be ruined because of fire. On page 27, a big earthquake came. Fortunately, it didn't hurt them. In between some special events, the author keeps mentioning about how much the man loves his son, and that the boy is the only reason why he is alive. On page 35, the man and the boy are having a conversation about how all the trees in the world are going to fall sooner or later, but not on them. On page 37, they found a river and a big waterfall. They went inside the river and has lots of fun. The boy really likes it there because there is something they can eat and because of the river. However, the man thinks that it is dangerous and must move one because it's getting colder. On page 44 to 47, they had to go under the truck in order to cross the bridge. In this part, we could see the traces of other survivors again. On page 49, they found a man who is dragging one leg slightly and stopping from time to time to stand. The man and the boy were watching him while they were walking behind them. It looked like he was hurt and the man guesses that he was struck by lightening. He was walking very slowly, but finally he just sat in the road and did not get up again. The boy wanted to help him, but the man knew that there was nothing they could do for him, so they had to just keep walking toward south.
This is the overall events that happened in the first pages of 3 to 50. It was comparatively easy for me to do this because I wrote down comments in the book while I was reading, and the important events. I think this made me understand the plot of the events much more. I hope in the next pages that I have to read, the story would be more interesting for me.
