Jack Kerouac’s experiences on the road profoundly shaped his literary works. His journeys across America, marked by spontaneity and adventure, inspired the famed novel "On the Road." These travels exposed him to diverse cultures and lifestyles, fueling his interest in Beat Generation ideals. The sense of freedom and the quest for meaning in a post-war America became central themes in his writing. Influenced by friends like Neal Cassady, Kerouac emphasized improvisation and jazz rhythms, which transformed his prose style into something dynamic and fluid. His experiences thus captured the essence of a generation seeking liberation through self-expression and exploration.
