The Road Section III

Questions

1.  Why is all the dialogue composed of one line sentences?
2.  Why does the man still hold on to his wallet?

Parallel

"He said the right dreams for a man in peril were dreams of peril and all else was the call of languor and of death." (18)
"They say that women dream of danger to those in their care and men of danger to themselves." (57)

Dreams are a crucial part of the story because they become the only thing where the man can escape the reality.  However, he and his wife both say the he should be dreaming of danger.


Contrast


"The boy took his truck from the pack and shaped roads in the ash with a stick...He made truck noises." (60)
"Then he heard on the road behind him what sounded like a diesel truck." (61)

The boy plays with his toy truck, which is a symbol a innocence and is used for fun, but then a real truck comes and brings danger.
