What would be a good thesis for an essay on "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy? Posted by lscheffee on Apr 15, 2009. |

This is a good question for the discussion board. One of the things that struck me when I began reading this book is that nowhere does the author explain what has happened to the world and why it happened. Was there a war? Some kind of global natural disaster? Did an asteroid collide with earth? All the plant life is scorched and so dead that snowfall makes trees collapse. You might consider centering your essay on how damaged the earth and everything on it is. Considering how innocent and trusting the boy seems to be throughout the book, perhaps your thesis could be something like "there is hope even in the bleakest circumstance."
