"With Silence Favor Me" - Horace

There are several things from Natalia Chaves' post "No words. Too much to say." in which I agree and others in which I disagree. First, she mentions how there is a distance between the son and the father, since their conversations are always short and simple. I disagree with this because I think that the fact that their dialogue is plain and concise indicates how the son trusts his father completely and never questions his decisions. McCarthy shows their close relationship through the following quote:

He knew only that the child was his warrant. He said: If he is not the word of
God God never spoke." (5)

In Natalia's last paragraph she explains the importance of the scant dialogue as a way to see how the characters have been through painful situations which have dehumanized them and transformed them into plain and stoic individuals. I agree with the previous statement because it is evident how destruction and chaos have made a terrible impact in the book's characters and the way they interact with others.
