a letter to the boy

I finally finished reading pages 51~100. It was another hard reading for me. I could understand the story better than pages 1~50. In 51~100, I think there were not any dreams or thoughts about the characters. It just showed the experience of the man and the boy meeting a lot of new survivors while they walk along the road. While I read this part of the book I felt that the boy was really stressed out. So I am going to write a letter to the boy because I feel a little sorry for him. Let me start.
Hi, well I do not really know your name because the author did not tell about it. However, I think you really had a bad time in the world of disaster. It was very hard for me to imagine what you have experienced in the world. I read that you met a lot of people while you walked along the road. There were some people in the truck and wanted some food. Hence, he captured you and put a knife beside your neck. It would have been very scary in this part. If I were you, I would just have gave the person some food and ran away from him. Well, you just sood there and your dad shot the man. It would have been very scary for you to see a person die right beside of you by getting shot by a gun. I felt you feeling scared because you did not speak to anyone after that experience. Also, throughout the story you do not live like other ordinary people in the world. You live like a poor person... It was very sad to see your dad and you going t places to get food and getting tired while walking. I wanted to help you guys... I cannot imagine how hard it would have been for you guys to absorb in a world like that. Well, I wish the end of the story would be a happy story for you and your dad. It can not all be so scary and tiring. Wish you luck~!
Well, I wrote a letter to the boy in the story. First, I felt really sad for him because he experienced very hard times which other people do not really experience in another world. Also, I imagined having an experience like him. It would have been very scary.

  1. I had not realized that the boy's and his father's name were not mentioned. Probably I got used to reading the story without any names suggested as I read more and more.
    I believe that there was a kind of dream of the woman, which showed that she was a cold and cynical person. I thought the man took the boy forcefully although the woman wanted to keep the boy with her. Or did I read it wrongly?

  2. I can see your empathy for the boy in this letter.

    Please remember the 500 words requirement and develop your ideas a bit more. It's ok to ask questions and be uncertain here on the blog.
