Free Write for No Country for Old Men

No country for old men is known as one of the best novels in a long time. the book has one prize after prize and I think it deserves all the prizes it recieved. McCarthy makes the men the power in the book and makes it seem like all the men have more power then the women. Women do not have a real part in the book and I feel that is because of McCarthy's past. He has not had a marriage that has stuck and I feel that he lacks the knowledge to put the women character into the book. I feel that is why he gives the men so much power and so much intensity in the book. The book is all about power and in all the relationships in the book the men told the women what to do and the women abided. The book was well written for what McCarthy wanted to get out. He didnt want it to be like a regular book and thats why it has been up for prize after prize. I feel in a way all McCarthy's books relate to his life one way or an another.
