The paper looks at the quest theme in Jack Kerouac's influential beat generation novel, "On The Road."

The paper also notes the semi-autobiographical tone of the novel.From the Paper:
"A central and even dominant theme in Jack Kerouac's novel "On the Road" is the road trip as a symbolic and practical quest for identity, a quest that occupies the lives of Sal Paradise, the narrator and Dean Moriarty, the perpetual road tripper. As an influential member of the Beat generation of American writers, Kerouac used what appears to be a semi-autobiographical approach to his theme."More papers on "On the Road":
