Paper #1 Topic: On the Road
This paper should be typed,
double-spaced, in Times New Roman font style, and at least 5 pages in length.
Your topic is to analyze Jack Kerouac's On the Road, specifically examining the
main character, Dean Moriaty. Examine the spiritual,
social, and philosophical reasons the character uses as a motive for continuously
racing across the county and engaging in behavior that most would consider
characteristic of a crazy person. Use what you've learned so far on the Beat
and Transcendentalist mentalities.
