I realize this is old but I read the book and I remember enjoying it. I am watching the movie and I understand almost none of the choices.

The mother abandons her family

The father leaves the shelter of food. He chooses to leave the “old man” they came across. He was in the town he grew up in, why wouldn’t that be done to stay in?

If there is water and tons of time on their hands, why are they all filthy? If there are canned goods why are they hungry?
