Jack and his personality.

Jack seems to be changing his personality, depending on who he is interacting with.
He is very crazy when he is with Neal, a typical son when he is with his mother and a sexual guy when he is with his girls. I wonder which is the real him, but all of them are parts of him. Still I feel like he is making up all the personalities to write his story. None of it is Jack Kerouac, everything is made up just for this novel. Perhaps he thought he himself as it is isn't interesting enough, and to interact with Mad people, he had to become one of them?

I would not be surprised if many of the identities in this book are actually components of the real Jack Kerouac. They are not personalities I would create if I wanted to create either a flattering or an interesting book about myself.
