Where Is This Heading?

" I don't know where it was going" said Cormac McCarthy.

 An image of a trip, a simple form of statement that became a book through the days and through the same development of what the author saw. It is a recompilation of the image of his own son. His relationship with him, but all based on that particular day in El Paso where he had an image of fires and everything gone to waste, "he knew that the child was his warrant. He said: If he is not the word of God God never spoke"(Pg. 5).

It seems to me that the same fact that the author did not know where the book was going, reflects the image he has of the relationship with his son. A changing connection, of father and son that strengthens itself as the years go by, just as the story itself becomes denser as the reader flips the pages. The book portrays the love of the author for his own son, but most importantly it tries to mirror that love through the difficult situations the characters overcome, creating that image that is so hard to explain. It expresses fatherhood but most importantly it expresses the priorities one most have in life, when there is no hope, what we really have to give importance to.
