Summary:
Nothing much has changed since the last blog post. The characters are the same although there is an increase in conflict. They actually find a large building with lots of activity going on once they find a locked door down in the basement. They decide to go back outside grab an axe to get through the basement door and hopefully scavenge for food. When they locate the basement they find a group of people killing others for food. In other words, mass cannibalism. This book reminds me of the movie lost. The movie lost is about the earth that got destroyed and taken over by other creatures, the world gets completely deformed causing them to be in a whole different world. There is a lot of similar scenarios in the movie as in this book. Such as the aspect of being lost and heading in one direction hoping for a reason to be alive. The cannibalism becoming a solution to all that is left of the human race. Similarities: This book relates with now a days in some ways that could be far fetched, though this book is based in a apocalyptic world. The government could be similar considering there is no government. Today, the government is breaking apart from corruption and different political views. Soon the government could fall apart if nobody finds a solution. In the book the government has fallen apart from complete chaos. The two main characters find themselves wandering around searching for resources to live. Well people who are considered homeless who have little to no pay sometimes find themselves wondering around in the unknown just trying to find enough food or water to survive.

When you say "Such as the aspect of being lost and heading in one direction hoping for a reason to be alive. The cannibalism becoming a solution to all that is left of the human race." what does that mean, do you mean that cannibalism is their reason to live or that this is just what they have become. Also I agree with you that this relates a little with homeless people wandering around looking for anything to survive.

I agree and disagree with your statement that Cannibalism has become the solution for the human race. It is a way to get a steady amount of calories (Since humans do regenerate muscle tissue) and it is technically a solution for some of the human race. But at the same time it is completely morally wrong, and many humans won't resort to that , no matter how hungry they are. So its a solution and not one at the same time.

I remember reading the part when they stumble upon the cannibal house, I was super invested and horrified at the same time. I have never seen the movie ¨Lost¨ but the way you connect it to the book makes it some what imaginable and it seems like a great fit for it being similar to ¨The Road¨. Have you enjoyed the book so far? and How do you predict the ending ?
