JACK KEROUAC’S ON THE ROAD1
Part One:
The novel “On the Road” is written by Jack Kerouac in the year 1957 and the main
focus of the storyline is based on the travelling experiences by Kerouac along with his
friends. The main protagonist Sal who has been introduced as the character addicted to Jazz,
poetry, and usage of drugs. In the upcoming scenes, Sal goes to visit his friend Remi and now
let the readers venture the storyline through Remi’s perspective. Remi knew that Sal was
visiting his place, so he thought of leaving a note behind so that he can find him in their old
place near dockyard. Sal was quite excited to meet Remi, and somehow, things did not go
according to his plan. He wanted to surprise Remi but he got to know it from his close
friends, and the surprise got hampered drastically.
Remi left a note in which it was written that he would be meeting Sal at their old
place, Dockyard. The dockyard has been in the news for various wrong reasons or rather
spooky reasons. In short, Remi met his girlfriend Lee Ann in a ship named “The Rising Sun”
and way two years back, Remi went to a ballroom party with Sal where he met Lee Ann in
this ship. Therefore, a connection instantly got flashed among themselves, and they thought
of getting into a living relationship. They even shifted at their new house in Mill City, and
things did not go well between them and eventually, they broke up in the previous year. Lee
Ann called Remi on Christmas eve to meet and to dine with her so that they can dissolve their
issues. Lee Ann wanted to give a fresh new start but, Remi was confused because she never
contacted him in the whole year. Yet, Remi went there and had a cosy dinner with her, and
they even danced together.
Remi even approached her so that they can get married and can stay together for the
rest of their lives. Somehow, Remi was getting the same vibes from Lee Ann but,
unfortunately, she dropped the decision and informed him that she was getting married to

someone else from a higher class authority. Remi was shocked and angry on her decision,
and they just fought for that night, and ultimately, Remi returned home with bloodstains in
his clothes.
Finally, the scene shifts to Sal, reading the note and visits Remi at that ship and
finally, when they got to see each other, they felt so delighted. Remi hugged Sal so tightly
and started to cry and eventually, Sal did not have any clue as what had happened to him.
Lastly, Remi told about the incident that occurred on Christmas Eve. He was having a fear
that he may get caught in the upcoming days and the cops have been suspecting him for a
very long time. The cops have been eyeing on him for several days, and he has been escaping
them for two weeks now. Sal was curious to know why was he running away from the police.
He thought that since Remi used to steal a lot of things from each of his workplaces, so he
might have stolen a rather costly item this time. The case was different, Remi accidentally
murdered Lee Ann on that day, and the police was unable to find any traces against him.
Remi used to work at his stepfather’s place where he started to steal things and whenever he
used to get caught and he used to get a good scolding and beating. In this way, he was
affected by his family issues and that destroyed his relationship with his girlfriend as well.
His mother left his biological father to marry another man and ultimately, she lost her life due
to acute sickness.
Remi was shattered when he heard that Lee Ann came to meet him for the last time
and was requesting him to spend the last night with her. Remi instantly got so angry and
aggressive that he immediately took a bottle of wine and smashed on her head. She was
craving for help but unfortunately died at the end. Somehow, he realised that he has made a
grave mistake and thought of rectifying, but it was too late. He was gifted with a sharp mind
so he thought of hiding Lee Ann’s body at the basement, which was a secret chamber, and
almost no one knew about that chamber. It was built to store black money or any costly
