McCarthy

Honestly, I had a hard time getting into and understanding this story. I did notice however that it is very descriptive. It mentions buzzards eating dead bodies, and a bat eating at Sproule's chest. Anyway, after I finished reading this story, I felt like I was completely lost about what I had just read. I decided to do a bit of research about the story and maybe that would help give me some background. I found out that the story is about a runaway teenage boy from Tennessee who winds up in Texas. He gets caught up with a gang that kills Indians. This is during the time of the Mexican War.

  1. I agree with you heather that it was very hard to follow and get into. I think it could have been written a whole lot better than it was.
