    “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac, author during the Beats’ generation, is largely considered a novel that defined a generation. Despite this consideration, however, there are very many controversies linked to this book. Though many call the novel offensive, unexciting, and poorly written, Kerouac deserves the entirety of the acclamations he has received over the years as the result of his roman á clef.…

    Cruising on back roads there’s nothing in sight. No gas stations or any houses for that matter. You could hear the tops popping off a fresh beverage, and with that sound we knew our weekend had begun. Pandora had us crushing lyrics to every song on the playlist. With every sip you felt a rush of adrenalin pumping through your body like the bass coming from the speakers. Winding and twisting through the hills we creep closer and closer to our destination; Bear Kats, Lesterville Mo, a small town know for nothing more than its nice river accesses and great camping sites. A parade of cars filed into town, some pulling into the only liqueur store while others continued down the road. We hit the station meeting up with a few friends. We followed them down the last dirt road we say our prayers for a safe trip and a fun- filled weekend we would never forget.…

    Drift by Rachel Maddow

    • 1152 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Rachel Maddow makes the argument of how America has been rising to a state of military power through her wit and humor, just like her television news show. The appeal of Rachel Maddow lies in her ratio of comedian to wonk. On TV, she dives into charts and graphs and long, winding fact trails, unafraid of “geeking out” because she can depend on her funniness to save her. She connects the dots from fact to fact, or statistic to policy, and along the way a parachute of jokes opens.…

    Wilker Theme Of Freedom

    • 299 Words
    • 2 Pages

    One of the most important themes Wilker displays throughout the book is freedom. He repetitively mentions the road, the van, and back in his own childhood, the bus he used to get from his mother's place to his father's in New York during summer vacation. He even lists all of the methods of transportation in the order of there appearance in the film, including the Shark skateboards, which he finally reveals why when he writes, "I often get this feeling: deep life is elsewhere" (Wilker 19). In his efforts to describe the deep focus of the film, Wilker includes his own life, which also provides his point of view. These methods of transportation leads to freedom when Kelly, who Wilker describes as "the psychedelic hippie adventurer" (36), first eliminates the adult coach that the team is not fond of with his motorcycle, then steals a van, in order to get from California to the Astrodome in Texas where their game is. The road symbolizes freedom because the team is out on the road alone, no adult supervision, which means they are free to go wherever and whenever they desired.…

    I woke up on another school day, dreading that I had to wake up at the crack of dawn to drive for Driver’s Ed. I do the normal routine: brush my snarled hair, get on my blue jeans, a t-shirt and brush my pearly whites. I’m then standing looking out the window, waiting for Mr. Schimp to drive up to my house in the stylish, white, Driver’s ed minivan. I hop out the front door with my backpack and then get into the driver’s seat, ready to pick out my favorite radio station, Star 106.1. I was officially ready to start my 20 minutes of driving.…

    Jack Kerouac’s On the Road demonstrates the limitless mobility for white American men during the Long Fifties. He does this by including those of another race and ethnicity and illustrates their freedom or otherwise (lack of freedom) to demonstrate life of a Mexican migrant worker. It is unconventional that Sal finds comfort in the Mexican migrant worker lifestyle; although it appears to be a carefree and untroubled lifestyle, these Mexican migrant workers face hardships that prevent them from finding well-paying jobs. Instead, they are placed in hard laborious jobs that are dangerous and demeaning. Sal’s relationship with Terry in Bakersfield, California, evidently reveals Sal as an unreliable narrator who is unaware of the racial and classed…
