The Road 134-160

            After the man and the boy found the apples and water they just sat there for a little bit devouring the apples. They had not eaten anything for days and were starving before they found these apples. The man also put this grape powder into the boys water so that he would have some flavor when he was drinking the water. When they were leaving the man walked across the ground, and he thought that the ground felt different. He then went to grab a spade from a nearby shed and start digging where the ground felt had something under it. After digging for a little bit he discovered an old door in the ground. The boy did not want them to go down there because he was afraid that there would be something down their like what happened with the cannibals. The man decided that because they needed food he should look down there just to make sure. When the man got down there it was a concrete bunker that was filled with boxes of food, water, beds and a stove. After they found all of this the man and boy just stayed here for days and days in till they recovered all of their strength from eating all the food. The man realized that they could not stay here forever because someone might find the uncovered door and could attack them during the night. During one day the man went out of the bunker and he threw most of the furniture out in the yard and he put a mattress over the door into the bunker. The man and boy left the bunker after a heavy rain. They gathered all of the food they could, and put the food inside of their cart.

            I thought that this section was a relief for the man and the boy. They were able to find a lot of food so that they could survive this apocalyptic event for a lot longer. I think the man is worried about someone behind them on the road and not being able to hide their cart full of food fast enough. Also, he could be worried because he can't push the cart through the wet ash. I am glad that the little boy was able to eat all of that food and recover a little bit from the stressful encounter with the cannibals.
