Second Post on All The Pretty Horses

The next 29 page I read of this book I felt where easier to understand.  Because I now somewhat understand how to follow Cormac McCarthy"s writings, the book flows much easier for me.  I have noticed that, though you may have to back track a bit, All The Pretty Horses does contain humor.  Such as when John Grady and Rawlins, whose real name is Lacey, (that made me think he was a girl for a split second) threaten to shoot Blevins, though they are just kidding.  I laughed some, though I'm sure not many other people did.  I was also a bit confused when Rawlins called himself John's "old dad" while he was putting pepper on his eggs at the cafe.  I figured out he was joking though.  I found it ironic that John pesters his dad about smoking, but he smokes himself.  Also, I figure because I wrote about 600 words last time, and we only need to write 150, that I'm going to stop this post here.
