Cormac McCarthy’s novel, The Road, is a bleak parable chronicling the journey of a father and son across a desolate, post-apocalyptic America. McCarthy’s work typically focuses on themes such as human nature, theodicy and the evil within society, with an overriding nihilistic worldview. The Road follows through on this, with McCarthy prophesying our destruction as a consequence of these societal flaws, and reminding modern readers of how much we have to lose if we remain on this path of…

Noisy Mittens!! For three nights last summer, we heard what sounded like a baby crying from the driveway that runs behind the houses on my street. Then one morning, my dad saw a kitten run underneath our neighbor’s car parked in the driveway.

Furthermore, it was evident that it was playoff season. As game time neared, my cousin and I made our way to our Hotel. Just hours before puck drop, the rabid Canucks fans, delivered some rather crude looks as we strolled down Robson Street in our Gaudreau shirts. Moreover, we modestly smirked back, as our flames were up…

"Find the road and just keep walking," was the only advice that he had, an so he set his sights on a distant horizon and began to walk. There was a flash of blinding sunlight, and suddenly he was in-- The midst of an abandoned metropolis. The concrete in front of her was cracked and blades of grass…

windshield wipers to the highest setting, nevertheless I could not see as I pulled out of the alley. As I rounded the corner my car slid to the right across the road. Even though I had a ton of homework to do when I got home, I decided to drive slowly and carefully to make it home safely.

I looked around frantic to see if there was any…
