__First reading__ 1. "The boy had found some crayons and painted his facemask with fangs and he trudged around uncomplaining." (14) 2."If you died I would die too."(11) 3. "You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget'(12)
 * This shows how the man is trying to give the boy a regular life as much as he can. Also I thought it was sweet just to see how happy the boy was for something so simple like crayons.**
 * This shows how close they really are and that they have nothing other then eachother.**
 * I just liked this quote and it really made me think.**

__Second reading__ 1. Why do you think the father and his son talk that way? Why does the son ask so many questions? and why does the father answer with a weak explanation? 2.Do we get any new information about the world before? 3. Where do you think they are? Do we have any clues where they are trying to go?

__Third reading__
 * 1.****Truncheoned-** a staff representing the leader
 * 2. Bludgeon-** to force into something

__Fourth reading__
 * Recorder**

__Fifth reading__
 * Dreams:** A constant thing that keeps happening in the book is the dreams that they are having. I can relate to having weird dreams sometimes but they always have a meaning. They also always have something that I have thought about that day or did that day. So when the father has these dreams it is probably something that is bothering him or on his mind.
 * Parents and there kids:** The child and his father are no different from me and my parents. There are always things that I disagree about with my parents because they want me to be safe. It is still like that in the world right now. Parents are protecting. Also at the point where the kid forgot the gun. Today parents still blame themselves for the things that they have done even though its not there problem.

__Sixth reading__ 2. "I had some weird dreams. About what? I dont want to tell you." 3. " I dont have good dreams anyway. They're always about something bad happening. You said that was okay because good dreams are not a good sign."
 * Dream quotes:**
 * 1. "**He fell into a dreamless sleep"
 * This reading had a lot to do about dreams. We talked about how the man said that good dreams mean something bad. Then in each of these quotes you see that the man isn't having dreams and the kid is having bad dream.**


 * "...**and said his name over and over again."
 * This is talking about the mans name.**


 * "**He tried to talk to God but the best thing was to talk to his father and he did talk to him and he didnt forget."
 * Ever since the man and the boy talked to Ely I think the boy has been curious about religion. So I thought this was interesting that the boy said at the end.**
