    Cormac McCarthy’s novel, The Road, shows how a young boy grows to be independent. This makes me believe that McCarthy’s novel is a coming-of-age story. Through various aspects of his novel, McCarthy shows how humans are hybridized; we are a mix between dependency and autonomy and that determines our identity. As we learn, grow, and mature, we must find a balance between the spectrum of independence and community. In The Road, the boy was depicted as dependent on the father. If the boy needed…

My mom dropped me off at her house and then we drove to the movie theater. I was surprised (yet again) to find out that Ashley…

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. He went over to the car and tried to get the kitten to come out from under the car while my sister and I watched from the deck.

    Quarter past the hour, the bus was swamped as a freeway at traffic hour. Orca blue had camouflaged the city; fortunately, accents of flaming red had made their presence felt. 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…
