Places We've Been To So Far

While "The Road" is mainly taking place in a barren and post-apocalyptic setting, there have been some important locations that the characters have encountered.

The House


Man and his son walk through a shackled-down and destroyed neighbourhood in search of houses with food in them. In the only structurally sound house on the block is where they discover more than 30 people, left naked and starving, in the dark basement, who the "bad guys" will kill and eat. This is the first time so far that the "bad guys" have been somewhat introduced, and where I, as the reader, discover what the "bad guys'" intentions are.



The Waterfall

This is where The Man and his son find shelter and comfort. This was also the only spot of comfort they could find, as they could connect with eachother, talking to eachother for the first time in who-knows-how-long. It brought tranquility to the bleak surroundings they were facing constantly everyday.
