It looks like these flowers are the way to Elisa’s heart. Since Henry didn’t really seem to care .....

.... Calixta “may” still have feelings for Alcee. This was shown clearly in the story when it says, “ His voice and her own startled her as if from a trance…” Immediately after this the description of the setting changed from a outdoor relax feel to an indoor tense feel.

.... hitchhike on back of a pickup truck, the reader is along for the ride. In every smokey little jazz club and every cramped run down apartment, the reader shares the experience. The way that Kerouac is able to create a detailed portrait of every situation shows that he is a master in the use of imagery. The main contributor to this imagery, however, is Kerouac's use of extensive, though necessary, detailed description. The magnitude of the imagery in this story could never have been attained without the use of the vivid details that brought every place and situation to life.
