there and we have to take a look. There’s no place else to go. This is it. I want you to help me. If you dont want to hold the lamp you’ll have to take the pistol.
I’ll hold the lamp. Okay. This is what the guys do. They keep trying. They dont give up 145.
Besides, he also looks wise when giving advice to his son. It is revealed through the conversation in which the boy realizes that his father gives the last food for him.
You promised not to do that, the boy said. What?
You know what, Papa …
I have to watch you all the time, the boy said. I know.
If you break little promises you’ll break big ones. That’s what you said Okay. But I wont 34-35.
Based on speech and character as seen by another, the father can be considered as a wise man. He can estimate the right place to live in because he has learnt from his
experiences. He has to be careful in order to save their lives. He also gives good explanation about what they will do, the reasons to do something to survive, and good
spirit to his son in order not to lose heart

In making decision, the father always uses his good thoughts. He is a smart person who acts carefully. He wants to make sure everything is under control

So it’s a good place for us. I think so.
Because we’re smart. Well, let’s not get too smart 170.
Besides, the father is like a guide for his son. He tells his son to make a plan before making a trip. He explains where the route they should go by looking the map.
We cross a bridge here. It looks to be about eight miles or so. This is the river. Going east. We follow the road here along the eastern slope of the mountains.
These are our roads, the black lines on the map. The state roads. Why are they the state road?
Because they used to belong to the states. What used to be called the states 43. He also teaches his son to think first before conducting an action. He will have a good
discussion with him what is going to do in order to tell the matters considered good and bad for him. He expresses his thought about the meaning of making a deal when they have
to help a survivor named Eli they meet on the road. The boy begs his father to share their food with the survivor and he agrees with him but it is only for one night.
That’s the best deal you’re going to get. Okay.
Okay means okay. It doesn’t mean we negotiate another deal tomorrow. What’s negotiate?
It means talk about it some more and come up with some other deal. There is no deal. That is it.
Okay 175-176. In fact, people will die if they do not eat for a long time. When discussing with his son

We’re going to die? We dont have anything to eat.
We’ll find something. Okay.
How long do you think people can go without food? I dont know.
But how long do you think? Maybe a few days.
And then what? You fall over dead? Yes.
Well you dont. It takes a long time. We have water. That’s the most important thing. You dont last very long without water 106.
On another occasion, in order to avoid the cannibals from knowing which way they go, the father attempts to erase their tracks. He thinks that it will be dangerous if the
cannibal can follow and catch them. In this case, his action shows that he tries to anticipate the worst situation that will happen to them by thinking fast and smart
He’d thought to find some place in the road where the snow had melted off completely but then he thought that since their tracks would not reappear on the far
side it would be no help. They kicked snow over the fire and went through the trees and circled and came back. They hurried, leaving a maze of tracks and then they set
out back north through the woods keeping the road in view 110. Based on character as seen by another, speech, thought, and mannerism, the father
can be considered smart because he can solve his problem appropriately and fast. He is able to make his boy agree with him without offending his feeling. He also takes the right

choice to make their tracks obscure so that it can minimize the possibility of being followed by cannibals.
