    On July 2, 2002, Jean and Harlow Cagwin watched as their home - the last remnant of their 118-acre cattle farm in Lockport, Illinois - was torn down clearing the way for a new housing development. Several years later, Ed and Amanda Grabenhofer and their four children moved into the new Willow Walk subdivision, their house just yards from where the Cagwin's home once stood.

  • If McCarthy is making an allusion to this verse then he did a really good job of taking something and making an amazing visual representation of it. By using a lot of interesting themes that connect the lives of animals, humans, and plants, in ways where love, death, time, and relationships are the main focus, McCarthy used the rhetorical approach of pathos very well.

      Excellent analysis here, Shekenah. Using literary devices like allusion is yet another way that authors, writers, artists, etc. can be "rhetorical."
  • Grays and blacks usually signify sorrow or night, and bright colors allow a different more vibrant feeling to come through.

      Good, specific analysis here. In attempting to interpret our class web readings this semester, it's important that your opinions are supported by evidence. In Cybil's case, she's drawn on her own experience as art aficianado to make a case that McCarthy's art is pathos-driven, and she's provided evidence (her comments on color, for instance) to support her claims. Great job.
  • He is naturalist that sees the world and nature as a continuing process even with death as a part of it. As humans we all die and we are all either buried or cremated,"given back to nature" in a way. McCarthy shows this circle of life as related to the natural world.

      Another excellent piece of analysis here, and in a way it builds off the comments above that allude the repetition of symmetry and pairs.

  • Even though human beings are the dominant species on this planet, McCarthy asserts that our time on Earth could be over just as quickly as it was for the dinosaurs.

      Great point, Troy.
