My review on "The Road"
The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a seriously amazing book. A surprisingly easy read and it was also the winner of the Pulitzer Prize. The setting is of a not to future world, when everything you know and loved is destroyed and gone. Ash covers the earth and barley anyone remains. The book follows A man and his son, (who are never named) and there journey to the coast in hopes of something better and warmer then there current predicament. All they have are each other; they are there each others live entirely. The pale scraggly father is willing to do anything to keep his very pale nine year old son safe from the “bad guys” that are left roaming around. His son was raised in this world knowing nothing else. The sun always covered by smoke and ash. The family left alone in this world to suffer the consequences of the earth’s ungrateful inhabitants. Tribes band together some good and some bad in the wasteland. All they have is hope and each other, they carry the fire. I encourage you read this book! The ending will leaving you breathless, I finished the book in less then five days.

College English
I believe English class is a specific class that has been manipulated and changed from what it once was by the cultural distorter. Made to talk about the evils of racism and how dead writers(code for white men) should not be in our text books. History has this same liberal problem but only to a degree, you can only lie and twist the truth so much, and no matter what at the end of the day our tribes heroic and noble deeds shine through. English on the other hand is perfect, they choose exactly what books they want to infest the youths mind's with, so they can read about fake accounts that never happened. The line between truth and reality is all to easily blurred especially in a class that doesn't push the issue of whether what your reading has any strand of truth or not. They are left free to spew there hate. Trying desperately to connect anything about race to literature and in turn furthering there own sick agenda.
