Read the excerpt from On the Road. In those days he really didn't know what he was talking about; that is to say, he was a young jailkid all hung-up on the wonderful possibilities of becoming a real intellectual, and he liked to talk in the tone and using the words, but in a jumbled way, that he had heard from "real intellectuals"-although, mind you, he wasn't so naïve as that in all other things, and it took him just a few months with Carlo Marx to become completely in there with all the terms and jargon. What does this excerpt demonstrate about the culture of the beat generation?
