Flarepistol Late in the novel, when the man finds a flare gun in an abandoned boat, he and the boy discuss how flare guns were once used to signal for help. But the boy immediately guesses the man intends to use this flare gun as a weapon instead. "Because there's nobody to signal to. Is there? " the boy says. The very object that once summoned help is now useless in that capacity. Its only practical purpose is hurting people. In this way the flare gun comes to symbolize the brutal changes the world has undergone in the novel. The text makes this connection even clearer a few pages later, after the man and the boy shoot the flare gun over the water in a sort of celebration. The two characters agree that their signal probably was not seen by any good people, or by God. Significantly, they do not speculate on whether any bad people saw the shot. The flare gun also symbolizes loneliness. Although the man often claims good people exist, he makes no attempt to find any. He behaves as if there is no chance of ever again approaching other people and forming a community.
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Thursday on ABC's "The View" that adding justices to the Supreme Court was "on the table" if Democrats win a majority in the Senate. Warren said, "We fight them every inch of the way now. We hold them accountable on November 3. That's what elections are about, and when we've got the White House, when Democrats have got a majority in the Senate and the House, then we need to work to restore the integrity of our courts, and that means all options are on the table. " Co-host Sunny Hostin asked, "Senator, Vice President Biden says he's going to put a bipartisan commission together on possible SCOTUS reform, and you have said the Democrats need every option on the table when it comes to the Supreme Court, and you've expressed some openness to the idea of adding more judges to the court. Are you in favor of expanding the court or perhaps an age limit in place instead of a lifetime appointment? " Warren said, "I've said everything is on the table. We need to restore the credibility and the integrity of our courts.
