Comment on Meagan's Themes (Ari Garvett)

      Overall, Meagan’s concepts are strong but I believe essay 2 and 3 to be the strongest ideas as one can provide a plethora of support for them. The two themes are extremely profound in the novel whereas in essays 1 and 4, Kerouac does not provide any prominent examples. But out of the two essays, if I were Meagan, I would choose essay 3. We see throughout the novel Dean and Sal escaping all three institutions and almost always defying them. Whenever they get pulled over by the cops (State institutions) they squirm their way out of the situation and fine themselves back on the road. Both boys leave their family and try to mentally block all thought of their love and compassion; however, they both fail each and every time as they always are looking for Dean’s dad and are constantly settling in Sal’s aunt’s house. I believe that Meagan could have a well thought at paper if she chooses this essay and I wish I had thought of it myself!
