So Now Its Post 7
Lamar believes that the next generation is going to be bad. He sees the future with impending violence and pessimism as the generation take things for-granted and have trouble growing up. I can't help but agree with him in that as times pass, the newer generations lose sight of what is important. He also talks about his wife Loretta and how she helps feed the jailed. So now Chigurh was wounded in the firefight and has a large hole in his leg. He gets medicals supplies from a co-op and blows the *stuff* out of the front of a pharmacy using a car and some gas to get antibiotics and other medicinal drugs. After he tends to his wounds for 5 days he leaves the motel and drove to another one. Bell stood contemplating on whether or not to commit suicide, but for a reason I don't know something I'm guessing about a woman as he said, "She is worth it". Just another odd moment that loses meaning as there is not much to go on to deduce a meaning. Wells then makes his way to where Chigurh is located and Chigurh follows him up the stairs with a shogun to Wells back and they talked about Wells' life before Chigurh shot him in the face with his shotgun. Again I have to question why Wells had firstly gone to meet Chigurh, was it planned or not, and why didn't he come more prepared as he repeatedly stated how he knew Chigurh was going to kill him before his death in the motel. While Moss is in the hospital, there is a moment in the book that really shows the slight humor this author incorporates into a book while keeping the feel of the character. "They turned at the end of the bay and started back. The sweat stood on his forehead. Andale, she said. Que bueno. He nodded. Damn right bueno, he said." He called his wife and told her to go to a motel and then called wells but got Chigurh who told him that he was going after his wife. The next chapter starts off once again with Lamar talking about how the world is going to hell. How the main problems in school have gone from chewing gum, talking in class, and running in the halls, to rape, murder, and arson. This makes me think to how my school although it has problems, many problems, really isn't that bad compared to some places where these things really are common. The chapter then goes to Chigurh where he kills the man who had hired Wells strategically using birdshot to avoid the glass behind the man from falling into the streets. Carla Jean and her mother left the house and headed for El Paso Texas. Chigurh broke into Carla's mother's house after they had left and found another phone bill. Moss bought a gun and a car after he picked up the suitcase on a long river road and then got a hitchhiker to drive the car for him. Carla Jean told Bell where Moss had called fomr as long as no harm would come to him because of it. The chapter end vaguely as the author gives no names or any real description to two men who leave in a black Plymouth Barracuda with a sub-machine gun. The only thing you can get out of them is that they're most likely Mexican as they spoke in Spanish
