Pg 29-60

The season is winter season, and they have been traveling through mountains and they father is expecting for them to reach the summit soon. As they move forward, they discover a river with a waterfall -which they have to leave after a while because it will attract others- and after bathing in the river, they camp in the woods where they find morels.

We start this section when they father and the boy are close to reaching the end of the mountain they're struggling to get through. We see them discover a river with a waterfall where they decide to camp for a while but then decide to leave since water could attract other people. They move along to a bridge which crosses a river which is blocked by a truck, they decide to camp there for the night. The next morning, they explore the trailer to find bodies. The next day, as they walk towards a fire they noticed at the horizon, they notice footsteps which lead to man struck by lightning. One day, the father wakes up coughing blood. Also, they see people approaching. One man approaches the man and the boy, he holds the boy with a knife on his throat, and the man shoots the man from the head and rescues the boy. They continue their way through the woods while the son insists on not talking to the man.

There is high level of description in each line, which is complemented by the high word level used. However this excessive description is contrasted by the lack of correct use of language, such as lack of quotations. His high description creates heavy imagery for the reader, to allow the reader to personally connect with the characters.

The tone is dark and suspicious. We read dark and scary description of the wood at night. The ghost town is described very clearly since the tone being used is creepy and scary.

We are still being introduced with the man and boy who continue walking southeast to the cost.

The structure is chronologically ordered, with flashbacks of the man memories with his wife added within the story in order to add context to some events. The story represents the continued breakdown of the Status quo from the beginning.
