Zásady pro vypracování
In the opening chapters theories of sexuality should be researched, for example sexual orientation. The historical and cultural context of American society in regard to attitudes toward sexuality and gender roles should be briefly described, especially societal changes taking place in throughout the 20th century. In this part the changing positions of women could be explored. Pertinent bibliographical information on Jack Kerouac and a short overview of his important works should be featured.
The composition of On the Road as well as a brief summary of the plot, characters and style of writing should be described.
The book´s place in the context of the Beat generation and in the overall canon of American literature should be emphasized; later works and authors who were influenced by Kerouac and the Beat generation may also be included.
The most important part of the paper should be an analysis of the sexual attitudes, encounters and relationships depicted in On the Road using the concepts and theories outlined in the first sections of the paper. One important aspect is the difference between sexual attitudes exhibited in the book and those of mainstream American society of the 1950s. Finally as a conclusion the influence of sexual and other attitudes expressed in On the Road on mainstream society even until today may be discussed.
