Explanation and Analysis:

A reader might expect that a novel about young men hitchhiking across North America to drink, party, meet women, and visit friends would be light and cheerful. But On the Road has moments that trigger profound frustration, sadness, and reflection in readers. Sal's reflections on social norms and attempts to either buck or adhere to these mores make the novel often feel hopeless.
