Put Group Notes Here:
Day 1- What does ash symbolize? -Andrew says there is no symbolization -We do agree it could symbolize death

Why is the boy so important to the man? -Everything else is gone/dead, boy is the only thing the man has, why is there only 2 bullets - same amount of people, shouldn't they have more, why avoid the people, people are dangerous, why on the road? easy travel, easy cart moving, why does the man always saying, "i know?", dad is trying to make the kid enjoy life why he can,

Predictions - contact with people,

Day 2-

Why does the mother kill herself? She said that her heart was ripped out of her when she gave birth to her son. Postpartum depression could a major cause of this. Andrew thinks it's selfish to leave her son and kill herself because they would have that burden on them. We think that the son might be able to remember or knows enough about it to feel an impact. The man is surviving for the son while the mother has no connection to the son. The two bullets are there because if they need to kill themselves, they can. That's also the reason why the mother killed herself with flint, because she was leaving a last loving escape route for her son and husband. The bullets are the escape route.

What qualifies as good? They stick together as a family and they stick to their morals. Tried to stay good people after civilization when they need not to be good.

Why doesn't the father try to get the dog? He promised the boy that he wouldn't kill the dog. The man decides that he really wants to preserve the boy's innocence and childhood.

How can they survive with one bullet and no food?

Day 3 -

Carrying the fire - Seems kind of pointless, Earth isn't going to fix itself, seems kind of not very good symbolize

Life worth living - should they keep going? Why do they do this? They do it for eachother

Farming people - would the man help if he could? is he really good person?

What is the point of living? - Natural desire to be alive, Brain controls things, everyone will eventually die, They've accepted the fact that they will die, will try to survive, but if they happen to die, its oh well.

Day 4 - Why does the man help the old man this time? to show the boy they are still the good guys, that not everyone is bad

Why didn't the dad get mad about the son leaving the burner on? Why didn't they go back and get more gas? because he didn't want to put any more pressure on the boy, It was dangerous to go back if people are watching them

Why did the old man survive so long? He claims to be ninety, maybe there are more good people along the road that helped him just like the father and son did.

- the son still has the same morals throughout the entire book, worrying about looting others and trying to help strangers

What do you think will happen next? - Maybe they will run into more people - The father will probably die

4th section reorder

What do you think will happen when they are at the beach? 1. not what they were hoping for, because that is where they wanted to be but not at eh same time

What other parts of the book show hope? 1. showed that even in these times stuff can still get done 2. That there are still good people arounfd and you have to hope you find them

Why do you think the boy lost the gun 1. he dosent like the gun because of what it can do and so we think he may have lsot it on purpose

Connections 1. the connection between when we have a bad dream and when the boy has a bad ream 2. the boy knowing the dad is going to die is like a relative of our being diagnosed with a terminal illness 3. boy is being very mature about the horible prospect of his dad dieng pretty soon The man forgiving the boy for losing the gun why does the man keep taking the blame for the boy;s mistakes

the boy and man have realized that the man is going to die soon, in the beggining of the book the man asked the boy if he wanted to write in the book now the boy is asking the man if he wants t ride in the kart
