After having read the first two chapters of this book, a series of characters have been introduced, more than one might usually encounter in the beginning of a novel. The narrator has so far only introduced characters and described them. For example, Dean Moriarty is a character who, although uneducated, seems to be bright. Because of this, the narrator seems to enjoy his company. I enjoyed the way Dean was described, especially the comparison between him and Gene Autry. Although I did not know at first who he was and had to look it up, after I found out that he was a stereotypical cowboy, Dean Moriarty's character came to life for me.
From these initial chapters, I concluded that the book would be in fact about a road trip to the west in search for change, excitement, and adventure. After all, the narrator seemed to be very intrigued by Dean and his adventurous nature, an embodiment of the west itself.
