The Road
1) One man they meet on
the road says "There is no God and we are his prophets." What does he
mean by this? Explain the role of God and faith in The Road. As always,
use direct references to the text as your proof.
2) Describe the
relationship between the boy and his father.
What do they feel for each other? How do they maintain their affection
for and faith in each other in such brutal conditions? How do they support each
other during the tougher times of the novel?
3) What does The Road
ultimately suggest about good and evil? What separates the “good guys” from the
“bad guys”? How do we as readers know this?
4) Use the idea that the boy is symbolic of a
religious figure or “the one” and explain how his role changes over the course
of the novel.
- Your
introduction should include:
1)
Title and authors of primary (stories we have read
in class) texts
2)
Your thesis (Which depends on the question you write
about from above)
- Never
end a paragraph with a quote.
- Cite
outside sources within in your text; if it appears on your works cited
page it has to be used in the paper (direct quotes or paraphrasing).
- Always
keep in mind: is this quote proving and supporting my thesis? If not, do
not use it!
- WITHOUT
A WORKS CITED PAGE OR OUTSIDE SOURCES THE PAPER WILL FAIL
