We dove deep not only into the book but also into his life, the experiences of the Beats, and society at large during that time. It gave me a new perspective of people who were fighting for social justice before us, what their beliefs and struggles were like. The book also gives you the opportunity to psychologically study so many different characters, not only the three mains and their friends, but also the various people they met along the way. Many people find The Road inspires them to travel; for me, it inspired me to more deeply know the history of the movements I believe in and to work for change while being respectful of those wounded by the terrible behavior of others. — erinl50
