5+5=1 (which makes no sense)

1) I learnt that The Road is a 'road story' which is a type of story when the characters go on some sort of journey with no aim or destination. It is an American style that is not a quest just a journey with details on the people that are met on the way.
2) I learnt that The Road is a 'post-modern novel' meaning it is not written in the traditional way. This is shown with having no speech marks, lack of punctuation, the amount of short no flowing sentences, the fact there is no chapters, and that the whole novel is just one long chronological journey.
3) I learnt that The Road is a 'post-apocalyptic novel' because it is set after (post) the end of the world (apocalyptic) when there is a very minute population left.
4) I learnt that The Road features 'Deathscapes' this is a type of dead landscape where it seems there is no one living. It is very typical of post-apocalyptic novels.
5) I learnt that The Road has a lot of 'low-cultural references' that are similar to American horror movies such as: 'Dawn of the Dead', 'Last House on the Left' and 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'.
