The road? or the city?

The book is called on the road but Sal does not describe the road at all. Irony? An example of this is that Sal skims through his bus adventures, barely touching in the landscape around him. The same thing happens when Sal drives with dean, as dean's talking and their discussion take most of the page. Sal makes driving sound like its not a skill at all and takes no effort by not mentioning the surrounding landscape. The book also focuses on the adventures of Sal in the city and what happens to him there, but it does not focus on the road itself. One could say that the name comes from the wandering of Sal from city to city. I would agree to that, but Sal does not describe what happens between his time in the two cities. The only time when Sal describes what happens during his travels is in the beginning of the novel where Sal is talking to his fellow hitchhikers in a truck where everyone got a ride. (The farmer's truck) At that time he was gong to Denver to see Dean.Dean however, talks about his travels much more. An instance of that is that Dean explained to Sal about the little kid throwing rocks at people's windshield. He said that one day a person will be hit by the rock and crash and die. Sal, on the other had would not mention it in the novel if Dean did not mention it. Also Sal does not have any soliloquies in the story as he does not describe times when he is alone. There always has to be a friend or another person which he talks, and that makes most of the content of the story. This is another example of how Dean and Sal are character foils, as mentioned by someone else.
