Post 6 - chapter 4 and 5ish
Sheriff Lamar talks about his grandpa being a sheriff and how his wife is a good person. Sheriff Lamar sees the world changing for the worse. The way he talks about people not taking into account the good things that happen in life and focusing on the bad things that happen to them for "no reason". Now there are 10 people dead including Wyrick the people by the trucks and the deputy. Sheriff Bell and Wendell are also tracking down where Moss is and wonder if he knows about the kind of people after him. This crime brings alot of attention to the town and members from border patrol, the DEA, one specifically McIntyre who helps Bell and Wendell clean up and note the crime scene evidence, and reporters come for it. Chigurh pans out to be a cold killer. The man isn't stupid and won't cause a scene, as to avoid being caught, but he would kill a man that he just met and even tries to kill a bird that he sees while waiting a night out in a car. Moss proves to be a rather clever person as he uses metal poles, coat hangers, and duct tape to fashion an instrument to reach the suitcase of money, hidden in the vent system from a few rooms away. He left directly after. Chigurh found out where Moss had been and he broke into the 1st room in which the suit case had been hidden in the duct. Chigurh killed 2 men, Mexicans, in the room who i presume had been looking for Moss also. There's some instances in the book not just these 2 chapters that make little sense as i read them. There is little relevance but i guess they are there for some reason of character identity.The next part confuses me again as Moss does another thing i just didn't plainly get. Moss finds a receiver that Chigurh had been using to track him. He puts it in the bathroom and turns on the shower but waits for him. When he has the opportunity, he should've shot him but instead he has Chigurh throw his shotgun on the bed and then Moss ran down the stairs and out the front of the hotel. He ends up getting shot and crosses a bridge into Mexico. Chigurh kills a few men but one is in such a manner that portrays Chigurh as a monster as Chigurh makes this man look at him as Chigurh shoots him in the forehead. This firefight is made much more complicated than it could've been. The way the author uses pronouns and groups so many people together as Mexicans does a significant amount to make me wonder who is being shot and who is doing the shooting. Lamar in the next chapter talks about matters of truth and his history. He also talks about the people that don't do anything until it is too blatantly obvious to leave it alone. Bell visited Carla Jean, moss's wife, but got little information out of her. A new Character Mr.Wells is introduced and seems to be a man of high ranking. He knows Mr.Chigurh well and is hunting him down. Still i feel like more could be concluded about him if the manner in which the author writes wasn't so vague. Wells is a hit man that visits Moss, who is now in a hospital. He wants the money that wells took to return to his client. Wells seems as though hes trying to help him.
