Abstracts

From what I have gathered from pages 19-21, an abstract is very precise on sticking close to the point it is trying to make.  Some things an abstract are just your basics: topic, graphs, and specifics.  Abstracts are short and usually around 75-100 words.  By using the abstract method with my conclusion and research part of the I-search project I think I will be able to cover a lot of material in short simple ways which will be easier to retain the information I am trying to explain.

The Road

So I really need to crack down in reading The Road, but even where I am at in the book is beginning to show the desperation in the father and son's situation.  After the father had to kill the man that had grabbed his son, everything else seemed to go down hill more, if that was even possible.  The father had to wash out the man's blood and insides off of his own son, with freezing, painful, cold water.  It's snowing.  And they are running out of food.  How much worse could this get for this family?  Even through the desperation and hard times they are going through, I can feel sense the love between the two which at this point, I find, is there only hope.
