Here are some questions about All the Pretty Horses which I think you all can discuss with each other:
1. What's up with the untranslated Spanish? What effect is McCarthy going for?
2. Ditto with the lack of quotation marks--besides generating reader confusion, what purpose is served by not being able to keep track of who's speaking?
3. Why do Rawlins and John get locked up? What is the sequence of events that lead up to their incarceration?
4. What BIG IDEAS is McCarthy working with in this novel? What truth about life or how the world works can you glean from the book? What do you predict for John's future?
(REMEMBER TO DO THE QUESTIONS FOR EACH BOOK AS YOU GO!!!)
