On the road blog 6

One of the most memorable moments from On the Road is when Dean runs into his brother towards the end of the book. You see a completely different side of him. His whole life he has lived in complete fearlessness and he seems to be incredibly ok with who he is and how he lives. Around everyone else Dean always seems to be the top dog, the one everyone wants to be, the one that could lead you anywhere, and the one that everyone wants to be like. Dean always has an audience. He will go no where if he believes that no one will see him. He must feel like he is never alone. When he runs into his brother, it's like he is completely different person. Like he has so much to say and it never comes out. He seems to not know who he is or why he's done the things he has when he is around his brother. Dean seems to forget about everything when he talks with his brother. The effect that his brother haves on Dean is a mystery. But I find it very interesting to see that someone who presents himself with as much power as Dean does has a weakness. Let alone the fact that his biggest weakness is one of the only family members he has left.
