Question

Read the excerpt from On the Road. One day I was hanging around the campus and Chad and Tim Gray told me Dean was staying in a cold-water pad in East Harlem, the Spanish Harlem. Dean had arrived the night before, the first time in New York, with his beautiful little sharp chick Marylou; they got off the Greyhound bus at 50th Street and cut around the corner looking for a place to eat and went right in Hector’s, and since then Hector’s cafeteria has always been a big symbol of New York for Dean. Which statement best describes how Kerouac’s use of diction and syntax define his writing style?

Answer 1

The beat generation was made up of young people who were just beginning their lives as independent adults, so this statement best explains how Kerouac's writing style reflects the values of the beat generation.

His writing style was animated conversational and breaking free of traditional writing structures which made him different from others and this is because he used syntax and diction.
