Is THe Road the sequel to Brave New World
Well we are almost done with The Road and we finished Brave New World. So I have a question seeing both stories do you think The Road is a sequel to Brave New World?
Themes
What is the importance of fire in this novel? In my mind, fire plays two roles--the destruction of humanity and/or the hope to carry on. Fire, and the effects of fire, is seen everywhere in this novel, from the burned out towns to the layers of ash covering everything. Which instance of fire is more influential to the main characters? The fire of destruction or the fire which enables them to carry on?

Father and Son
So far from what we have read in The Road, What do you think about the relationship between the Man and his son? Do you think they have a good relationship? Does the father give the son to much false hope?
THE ROAD
From our class dicussions of the Road the past few days, the question of why do the people in the book fight for survival keeps comming up. What reasons do you think they have to stay alive, or why do you think they should just give up?
