On the Road Blog 1

When reading On The Road, you soon notice that Jack Kerouac explains the characters with as little descriptions as possible. You see what they are like yourself. You figure out each character by seeing what they are mostly like and how they relate to situations in the book. I found it easiest to see what their personality is like by the way they act and communicate with other characters. I like the author's method because it gives the reader a chance to become more intact with the book. Not only does he give you situations to think about, but he even allows opinions to be developed about all the characters.
