Life
on the road is incredibly fast paced now that Sal has had a year to calm down.
In the year without Dean he has finally gotten his life back to normal and
Dean’s return of course means a whole new adventure. Within the first 3 pages
of part two it is evident how crazy life is for people like Dean; people on the
road. Things that should take time to develop happen in a flash and end in a
flash. Marriages, babies, jobs; everything just comes and goes. The most
interesting part about it all for me is that no one stops to feel. Once one
thing ends it’s onto the next girl, the next job, the next city. It’s almost as
if this is an era of robots just trying to do as much as possible, as fast as
possible, and as cheap as possible. The type of life they live is both
intimidating and exciting and I enjoy reading about it.
“The
madness of Dean had bloomed into a weird flower,” is probably the best way to
describe Dean at this point. He is a very passionate man in general with crazy
emotions. I am very surprised to see Dean return with Marylou. From what I know
Dean is an absolutely crazy, selfish womanizer. I do like the fact that he went
back for her. Even though he is crazy and she even knows it, their love is
described with such immense passion. I think that is one of the greatest things
in the world. Not necessarily from experience because obviously I’m only 17
years old but from what I’ve picked up upon, it doesn’t seem like there is
anything better than the type of love that drives someone absolutely insane, so
I’m happy that Dean has that.
Fast. Everything about the beginning of
part 2 is much faster than part one. I remember feeling incredibly bored at the
beginning of the book but it is evident that the pace is picking up and the
adventure is really going to begin. I’m excited to see what’s in store. I
wonder if Dean and Marylou will make it because I have a feeling they won’t,
the best kind of love usually doesn’t.
