“We gotta go and never stop going till we get there.” “Where are we going, man?” “I don’t know but we gotta go.” (238) And: - . “„What‟s your road, man?‟” Dean asks later, “„-holyboy road, madman road, rainbow road, guppy road, any road. It‟s an anywhere road for anybody anyhow‟” (Kerouac: 237).

The Beat Generation is a literary movement during the 1950s that consisted of male authors including the widely known Allen Ginsberg, who explored American culture in their poems.

Charlie stepped out of the General store at the sight of the wagon train rumbling down Main street, watching as it came to a stop on the side of the road. Mrs. Kramer, the shopkeeper's wife, followed her out. “Who do you think they are?” Charlie asked the older woman, unconsciously moving her hand to rest on the handle of her k-bar. “It’s an Orphan Train,” Mrs. Kramer replied, holding up a hand to block out the noon day sun. “Had word they were headed this way about a month ago.” “An Orphan

“Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private.” - Allen Ginsberg Numb. The entire world is still moving around me, but my seemingly empty corpse doesn’t move. I can hear my friends and foes around me. Static between my hands brings invisible hallucinations of books. These are not my hands. Those are not my legs. This is not my body. I am floating in the grey area between levels of consciousness

Compare and contrast The Echoing Green with The Schoolboy by William Blake Both "The Echoing Green" and "The Schoolboy" are classed under the section, "Songs of Innocence", which at first suggests that they will be of a similar nature. However this presumption is dispelled early on, as one examines the issues behind the often comparable wording.

Oppression and Spiritual Deterioration in William Blake's Poem London London I wander thro' each charter'd street, 1 Near where the charter'd Thames does flow, 2 And mark in every face I meet, 3 Marks of weakness, marks of woe. 4 In every cry of every Man, 5 In every Infant's cry of fear, 6 In every voice, in every ban, 7 The mind-forg'd manacles I hear: 8 How the Chimney-sweeper's cry 9 Every blackning Church appalls, 10 And the hapless Soldier's

Heaven and Hell, he declares that "the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom…Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained." These beliefs are reiterated and expanded upon in both Toni Morrison’s novel Sula and Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem Howl. Both authors challenge the conception of socially imposed boundaries, which suppress the absolute freedom of thought and action, by venerating the human characteristic of excess. Instead of abiding by the social norms of
