Interesting moments in The Road

In the novel The Road by Cormac Mccarthy, I find it appalling when the author vividly describes every detail of what exactly is going on in the scenes. Apparently I find the beginning paragraph of the novel very interesting, because it describes a dream that man has of wonders imaging the apocalyptic world they are in. I noticed that the author uses the word 'gray' simultaneously throughout the story. This mentioning of gray constantly is describing the feel of constancy that the apocalyptic world is alive. The author maintains the feel and does not lose the sense that the world does not exist anymore. According to line 2 in first paragraph, "Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one than what had gone before." This gives the reader a sense of darkness and eeriness. in line 8, "Deep stone flues where the water dripped and sang," describes there is pure silence and where the dripping of water was the sound of existence. In line 9, "Tolling in the silence the minutes of the earth, and the hours and the days of it, and the years without cease," mentions the world remains in silence and peace with no other living existence exist besides the father and the son. Coming to a conclusion, reading the novel currently fascinates me. The words he uses has poetic deep meanings behind it. I look forward to continue to read more about it.
