By the way, I misread the topic for the blog when this was due and accidentally wrote you a letter instead mr. Mccarthy, which is why the blog is late.
Dr. Mr. Cormac Mccarthy,
Your book, the road, made me depressed. I mean don't get me wrong, I thought the subject matter of your book was very thought provoking. But at the same time, I found my self feeling a bit gloomy when I read it. Also, I became confused a lot because you chose not to include quotation marks. Don't worry; I get it, the whole writting the book in a style that compliments the tone of the story thing. That was actually kind of cool now that I think about it.
If I were to describe the tone of the book with a color, I would choose grey. When I was imagining it in my head I saw a lot of grey. I think that color tells a lot about the book, its sort of ambiguous. I suppose you could look at the book as being a reminder of hope, or criticizing the very principal of it. Representing both Optimism and pesimism, the color grey does wonders in describing this book.
P.s. Even though I think of your book as depressing, I actually really liked reading it, the story was intriguing. Kudos.
