5+5=1

   I've learnt that the book directly references horror movies. McCarthy also lengthens and shortens sentences to build tension and expand and contract time. Key events stand out in the book despite there being no chapters to define them. There's a continuing theme of coldness and decay. The man is constantly trying to distance himself from the boy.
