Question

The Road takes the form of a classic journey story, a form that dates back to Homer's Odyssey. To what destination are the man and the boy journeying

Answer 1

Answer:

The boy and the man are journeying to the ocean.

Explanation:

'The Road' is a dystopian novel written by Cormac McCarthy. The novel is about the journey of a father and his son across bleak landscapes of North America.

The journey of the father and his sone can be compared to that of a pilgrim, who journeys in search of life, food, and shelter. The man and the son are journeying across the landscapes (unspecified, though 'state roads' may refer to the roads of the United States) to the ocean to find new life.

When they do reach the ocean, they see that even the coastal area is left lifeless but they find a boat and supplies in it.
