"At a crossroads they sat in the dusk and he spread out the pieces of the map inthe road and studied them. He put his finger down. This is us, he said. Right here." page 86



"So we're going the right way. Yes the right way." page 234



" In those first years the roads were peopled with refugees shrouded up in their clothing. Wearing masks and goggles, sitting in their rags by the side of the road like ruined aviators." page 28

[] == ﻿Our theme is perhaps the most relevent and appropriate theme for "The Road". The journey that the man and his son take is a true quest. They are traveling with a purpose, and the purpose is to live. There is no other motivation that is stronger than the will to live, and the need to protect your offspring. The object of their quest is to get to the coast, to escape the cold of winter. All of these quotes that we chose relate to the journey that the man and his son take. They show the hardships that the characters go through, as well as their experiences on the road. The characters don't have an exact plan, they just know that they are going to the coast. This is how "The Road is a quest". ==
