Interesting

Andrea's blog mentions certain things i hadn't noticed. I must agree with her, the descriptions McCarthy uses in the book are incredible, placing each reader in the room or place he is describing. However leaving some of the scenery to the readers imagination. Although the books setting happens in a very similar place the entire time, their is always a different twist. The way he writes the conversations is also very interesting and as Andrea pointed out it is up to the reader to infer who is speaking. Normally starting with the conversation of a new character on a new line. This can be confusing sometimes because both of the characters can have a different idea about a subject and their is no certainty of who is speaking. If you refer to the prior text, the conversation will become clear. This blog post caught my eye due to the last paragraph. The way Andrea connects the form of the book, that is it's lack of quotations and apostrophes to the content in incredible. This connection i must admit, i find fascinating and its the best way to understand the way grammar happens in this book. She says, " It is as if the author wanted us to realize that in the circumstance that the boy and the man are in is so beyond grammar and societal perfection that it is not necessary to put apostrophes to words or quotations to dialogues."
