All the Pretty Horses Response 3

I really enjoyed this part of the reading. I think that it was very interesting that McCarthy chose this moment to introduce Alejandra into the novel. It has brought more variety in the novel by bringing a female character into the mix that is actually nice to John Grady. I know I have compared the novel to The Road a lot so this is very interesting to have some sort of romance because The Road didn't have any aspect of romance whatsoever. The new tension between John Grady and Rowlins is very interesting. Throughout the novel it can be inferred that they have known each other for an extremely long time so it is kind of odd that there would be conflict now. If the main characters were female then there would be nonstop tension throughout the novel. :) just kidding.
