Darkness is all that lies ahead of me. The light is behind me. Which way do I choose to go? Darkness, of course. The gas station looks inviting. The neon signs advertising an all-time low price. Maybe I’ll just stay here for the night. In between the light and the dark. No, I have a job to do tonight, that will lead me into the darkness. I’m so thirsty. Maybe I’ll steal some water from the gas station. Just another bad deed to add to the list tonight. I have to stop procrastinating. Day may be coming

In Jack Kerouac’s novel On the Road, we meet Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, two very lost men. After publishing the novel, many critics commented that Kerouac’s novel glorifies the deeds of criminal young men living irresponsible lives. Because of the low tolerance for rebellious youth, nowadays most of society would share the critics’ opinion. As Dean and Sal are adults, most of their actions are not inappropriate. Though this is true, the more one reads the novel, one sees just how much of a failure

I jammed my hands into my pockets as I squinted at the blurry mass of snow that swirled dizzyingly in front of my eyes. I cursed my lack of forethought about gloves as my hands grew colder and stiffer in my pockets. I had dragged myself out of my warm bed, slid across my icy porch, and slowly trudged down our unplowed street to my pond. It felt like everything had changed since the last time I had come to the pond. The ground had been unevenly covered in brown leaves in the fall. Now it was covered
