From the most recent blog post, somethings that have changed in the book is where the Boy and Man are both still venturing along in the dystopian world, then suddenly the Boy and Man come across a big building. As you can imagine they are malnourished. They think to themselves that within the building there will be food and water or some sort of edible thing they can digest. The Boy and Man walk into the building and stumble across some sort of killing manifestation. The Man stay and watch to see exactly what is going on. To sum it all up, there are humans being sort of killed off in a way. The Man gets a closer look and realizes that they are cannibals and there are humans getting eaten one by one which is described in avery horrifying and gruesome way. The Boy lets the Man know that there is someone coming. There are 3 people heading their way and they turn out ot be cannibals. The Boy and Man are spotted by the 3 cannibals and they are in a mad chase. The Boy and Man eventually find refuge in the forest.
The only movie I can think of that reminds me of this book is Ready Player One. In Ready Player One there is a dystopia and the people are being controlled and being drained of their freedom. In this book there are people being kept in a basement without freedom and this also clearly a dystopia. Some similarities I see between today and the book is the fact that people are being kept in a basement not necessarily to be eaten but just lodged away. In the book there are people in a basement ready to be consumed by another human. In this current time there are people being trafficked and people being held as sex slaves in basements. There are also kids who have been kidnapped being held in basements as well as countless other situations I could list off. Also cannibalism, I am not exactly sure where in the world cannibalism exists but I know for a fact it does. In the book and this blog post there is cannibalistic acts mentioned numerous times. I will be commenting on Mariah and Ricky's blog

Where do you see this "road" leading the boy and the man? From what i've read I haven't gotten much knowledge of what the main idea is and why they are walking along the road.

Why do you think that the people turned out to be eating each other? Do you think it was real or just another one of the day dreams?

Do you think these cannibals were products of the cataclysmic event that struck earth?
