On The Road

3. In 1952 (when people still wrote letters to each other), Allen Ginsberg penned these words to Kerouac about the manuscript of On the Road: "I don't see how it will ever be published, it's so personal, it's so full of sex language, so full of our local mythological references, I don't know if it would make sense to any publisher." What is your reaction to this?

Allen Ginsberg just seemed to be worried about how people will think about thw way that Sal and his friends lived. The truth is something that someone always tries to cover up. Many just want to make life seem like a fairytale. Which life is far away from. Everyone needs to relize, especially Allen, that life is not perfect at all. What Kerouac wrote in the book was the truth about what happened. Though I may not like the way that Kerouac talked about women or treated them it actually happens. Women do sometimes give it up easy. Which i understand but not everyone is like that. Kerouac was actually explaining what happened in Sal Paradise's life on the road. So Allen just seemed to not want all the true colors of the country to be told. Allen was correct about what Kerouac was putting in his book," its so personal, its so full of sex-language, so full of our local mythological refrences." Allen was right with the fact that it had sex-language," reaching down under my crotch and lifting me up nimbly." That to me is something I would not want to read. There is a certain point where it is to much. To me it is to much information.
