Voice and Point of View

   Voice and POV in page 28: Unattributed dialogue or thoughts. Omniscient 3rd person narration. Possibly addressing the reader in 'Look around you' to encourage them to feel involved and engage with the imagery before it 'Creedless shells of men tottering down the causeways'. It could also be a form of free indirect style where the reader feels like they see what is being described Doesn't signal where the narration ends and the thoughts of a character begin-unclear who's perspective it is, possibly because it adds to the anonymity of  all of the characters on the road and that what the man has seen has been a shared vision by all who have walked the road.
   The paragraph appears to be unusual as there is no mention of the man or the man and the boy together 'The boy knew what he knew' this is rare in the novel as it rarely focuses on the boy's thoughts, opinions or emotions. This gives us an insight into the boy's perspective and suggests that the boy knows more about the road than the man suggests 'ever is no time at all' as this indicates that the boy is aware of the man's inevitable death and that it is always looming. Overall the paragraph gives a bigger picture of the apocalyptic world and  reminds us that it has affected other characters as well. It's easy to forget the toll of the apocalypse on general civilisation as there are so few characters featured in the novel as it is difficult to assess the magnitude of the apocalypse other than on the houses and towns that the man and the boy encounter.
   The final paragraph in the novel also matches the style of the paragraph in page 28 as it has similar features. The difference is that when the reader seems to be addressed 'you could' gives it a timeless feel as it's not suggestive of any particular tense. This is said by an omniscient narrator which helps to distance the reader from the scene which is reminiscent of the paragraph on page 28 as distanced view of what had gone on before.
