The Road part 2:B
Being a teenage girl who loves bunnies and Nutella is it so surprising that I didn't fully get The Hollow Men?The poem had a lot of allusions(thanks Ms. Obvious).It felt more spiritual and personal than The Road.The poem talked a lot about Hell and Judgement.The Road is more life like and being a book had room to describe more relatable living conditions.In The Hollow Men, the guys in question are men who are not good enough to go to Heaven and not evil enough to go to Hell(I think). So they live in this barren,dreary place-kind of like the characters in The Road.In both the novel and the poem the doomsday scenario isn't explained thoroughly but they seem to be different.The Road's Ending of the World seems to be this big cataclysmic event while the one in the novel seems to be a much smaller thing(Not with a bang but with a whimper).That's as good as I can do folks.
