Senselessness in The Road--due Friday, February 11

Type a paragraph/section from The Road here, selecting a passage that is not mere description or dialogue. Select a passage that seems entirely senseless or pointless--a passage that "doesn't make sense." Then, attempt to make sense out of the passage by answering these questions in 200+ words:

What meaning can you create?

What can you pull out from "reading between the lines"?
