My Dad’s Old Truck My dad bought a 1989 red/gray Nissan Pathfinder truck. When he got the truck‚ he hit a turkey with the grill that was crossing a yellowish brick road. Since he has owned it‚ its value has gone down considerably‚ even though he has spent more money fixing it than he paid for it. If it was worth as much money as it has cost to keep it running we could sell it and buy a newer car. It’s a red/gray 4x4 truck with off-road tires. Also‚ it has hunting lights on the top of the roof.

Man’s True Love The way this man talks about his truck is how so many American men talk of their automobiles. For good or bad‚ automobiles are key to our own uniqueness. When there were no such things as cars‚ did humans worship their buggies and horse drawn carriages in the same way? Did we love their horses as much as we love our Mercedes? Perhaps. Now days‚ we love our cars‚ but hate that they devour so much expensive gasoline. We might love our cars for sentimental motives as well. There are

freight tonnage is carried by trucks? In order to move over 10 billion tons of freight‚ it requires 3.4 million heavy-duty class 8 trucks and over 3.5 million truck drivers (ATA Reports‚ Trends‚ and Statistics). Without the movement of these trucks‚ America’s resources will come to a halt. In 2014‚ there was a shortage of about 38‚000 truck drivers in America due to many reasons (TDSA 2015 1). There is also a shortage in diesel mechanics‚ the makers and movers behind the truck drivers. We need our younger

Alright so it was my 6th birthday and I got a lot of good gifts but the best one by far was a Dump Truck. I loved it‚ so I got the good idea to build monster truck tracks outside in the dirt. So the next day at 7:30 in the morning I was outside starting to build my tracks and getting the base of things going‚ I started by using my dump truck to bring extra dirt to over where I was building. The dump truck came so in handy and I used it. So I planned this race by myself with myself and no one will know

Why do you think McCarthy has chosen not to give his characters names? How do the generic labels of “the man” and “the boy” affect the way you /readers relate to them? While reading The Road‚ a novel written by Cormac McCarthy‚ I was jerked from the warmth‚ comfort‚ and safety of my home and thrown into a cold‚ dark‚ and desolate world‚ walking alongside “the man” and “the boy”. McCarthy composes his work so graphically that readers are drawn right into the story. I believe Cormac McCarthy
