    Cormac McCarthy's All The Pretty Horses tells the story of a young man, John Grady Cole, from Texas who realizes that his idealistic vision of a traditional Old West future is being compromised by the modernization of American culture.

She makes it very clear that she does not want to risk running into them because they are escaped convicts. Her growing concern translates to the father. Although he later on agrees with the grandmother, he doesn’t think anything of it. I believe that because the grandmother made so much emphasis on the MisFits, this was one indication to the reader that hinted foreshadowing.…

    In the short story The Rattler, the author questions the justifiability of taking any life. Understanding the reason for a killing can allow one to sympathize with a killer, finding his cause sufficient, or alternatively empathize with the victim. In The Rattler, the author presents two opposing sides, one vindicating the man’s killing of the snake, and the other finding it wrong that the snake was killed. The author’s use of language and details causes the reader to empathize with the man for the killing, feel sympathy for the human-like snake, and experience both sympathy and empathy through the description of setting.…
