Mother Nature's Naughty Son's

After some in-class discussion that helped me to recover my sleep, (for those who didn't read my last blog, is all about that thing of the cause of The Roads Apocalypse) we finally got to the conclusion that the dooms-day scenario in the novel was caused by... guess who? Yeah us, the humanity. Everything seems to point that the human lifestyle and its 'giving a ..." about Earth is what killed us all. (Thank you everyday guy who does not recycle...)

Anyway, even if we don't know exactly what happened (I am still going for The
Simpsons evil chemical http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-9eYvvfhf4)  there is a paragraph that describes a dream that reinforces that idea of natural hazards. In the dream, the man sees the bride that appears in the novels first dream, but she is sick now and he is taking care of her. Furthermore, the line I want to highlight is "...did not take care of her and she died alone somewhere in the dark..." (p. 32)

This could be a metaphor of Mother Nature suffering from human misuse and finally decaying to death as a consequence of this human ignorance. The character also seems to dream with this because he feels guilty for what happened to the world. Could he be involved in an evil conspiracy that destroyed the know world?!? Nah... I don't think so, so lets stay with Mother Nature's theory, and to make you stay with the idea here is Mother Nature's Son by The Beatles...


(Haha, the frog missed!!! XD, now seriously, enjoy nature and take care of it for future generations.)
