Question 5 • Hopkins FA American Literature (2026-2027)
Kerouac’s prose in “The Railroad Earth” echoes the rhythms and improvisation of blues and jazz. He uses long, loose, unconventional sentences rather than conventional, carefully structured prose. So the best answer is “unconventional sentence structure”; detailed description may also appear, but it does not capture the musical influence as directly.
