Within the novel All The Pretty Horses‚ Cormac McCarthy attempts to associate the appeal of the Wild West in comparison to its reality. A prevalent idea that concludes the book on a slightly somber note appears in the form of John Grady’s character going into the western plains. As the narrative comes to a close‚ it is the diction and imagery that ultimately show how John Grady lets the story end with his departure into his life as a cowboy‚ having completely bended into this unique lifestyle and
