His writing style is spontaneous, free, and unpredictable as life actually is. For instance, in the novel, he describes some specific moments with such details that it clearly illustrates it: .
"So I stayed another day. It was Sunday. A great heat wave descended; it was a beautiful day. The sun turned red at three. I started up the mountain and got to the top at four. All those lovely California cotton woods and eucalypti brooded on all sides. Near the peak, there were no more trees, just rocks and grass " (Kerouac 71). This passage clearly describes what the author was living at this specific moment. It shows how there is only a fine line between the actual act of writing versus the act of living. This passage is so realistic that the reader can feel that Jack is reliving the moment as he writes it. The writing style of Jack Kerouac also emphasizes the spontaneity of living the moment. The author writes with a spontaneous prose. He is able to transcribe the spontaneous moment of living with the spontaneous act of writing which is not a common thing for all the authors. Effectively, in the book untitled The spontaneous poetics of Jack Kerouac, the author Regina Weinreich says that: .
"Kerouac's writing is an attempt to discover form not to imitate it and to discover experience in the act of writing about it, as if the language of the "mental spontaneous process " could expose some human experience as yet unknown simply because no writer had dared to set it down unimpinged by "craft "and traditional sense"" (4). .
This example illustrates how Kerouac is good at experiencing thing. As he writes, he also tries things spontaneously. Again, it confirms the fact that the act of writing is closely related to the act of living. Moreover, the style of writing is inter alia new: a spontaneous and free flowing form that seem to mirror the very concepts of the beat philosophy, "improvisational and not restricted by standard grammatical and stylistic rules " (Atkinson 15).
