Meanwhile..
It's interesting that Kerouac chooses to tell about what Neal is doing while somewhere else. It really emphasizes Jack's interest in Neal. Even when Neal's story doesn't include Jack's time on the road he still decides it's an important story to include. Jack doesn't really do this for any of the other character's in the book. I wonder what Jack likes so much about Neal Cassady.

I noticed that too. Did you ever think about how he knows so much about him?
It's strange to think about how Neal and Allen had a romantic relationship at one point and I wonder if maybe Jack's adoration of Neal is more that platonic. I doubt this, however it is a possibility.
