Question 6: Any other remarks and comments

What other remarks might you have about the books? Questions? Observations? Reactions?

I found both book very enjoyedable and like nothing Ive ever read before. They both reminded me of a canvas being painted by a man, each painting told a different story. "On the Road being more colorful and vibrant, told the story of a man surrounded by lifes funky obsticale and all the thing considered "normal" ,while "The Road" more grim and darker focuses on the survival journy of a man and his son. My initail reaction to "On the Road" was that Sal is a very cool and interesting narrorator. The book starting off with Sal talking about his split up with his wife and his feelings makes him beleivable and trustworthy in a sense. He made reading this book very enjoyable by being humorous and keeping real. I noticed that Sal was very compassionate when it came to women. He wasnt looking for more than just a fling but something solid, A wife. His very descriptive accounts of what happened on his journy make the people he hangs out with look kind of wacky (expecally Dean) and help you to create a visual in your mind about whats going on. Why was Sal always defending Deans charater? Why was Dean so imortant?

When reading "The Road", I imediately thought that this book would be suspenceful. The descriptive language reels you in and makes you wonder "whats gonna happen next?" I noticed that this novel had no chapters, that was the first for me. I also noticed the the conversations between individuals were short worded. The mans dreams helped to tell stories of his past. While reading this book my heart started to go out for the father and his son. The man literally fought for his live not to mentiond his sons during harsh condition Having to sleep survivng off of cold rice in cave, expecally during the winter is no joke. It was disapointed and surprised when the wife committed suicide. The boy needed both his parents. Who was the man and his son?

If I had to choose, my favorite book would have to be "On the Road" because it was so out there interms of language and content. The use of curse words through out the novel made it very realistic and relateable. The women, drugs, and alcohal use throughout the story made it reliable to readers because this is what actually goes on in our world. There are no boundries
