In the Road, I often find some words that are crucial for the image that the author wants to create on your mind. It might not be so important for your understanding because the book happens mostly in the same place. However if we want to focus on the descriptions and specific setting of the book it is important to understand all words. Allowing your mind to create a clear scenery and understand better the books development.
