“The script looks like a Road!”

“Neal, I finished writing about us. On the road”

This was written in the introduction part of the novel. Jack seemed very excited about finishing the script. He described the script as a road and writing it felt like he was on the road again. I always thought this story was Jack’s, but now I feel like this book was like a friendship book for Jack and Neal. It’s a story about freedom that Jack and Neal had. Jack writes “ Which I keep thinking about; about two guys hitch hiking to California in search of something they don’t find, and losing themselves on the road, and coming all the way back hopeful of something else”. I feel like to be on the road was to go on a self searching journey. They were separate people and were on a separate journey but was on the same journey. I think the journey made them grow just a little more, and made their friendship just a little more deeper.
