.... the world, looking up or out, sleepless, wide-eyes, perceptive, rejected b society, on your own, streetwise.”
Kerouac was completely captivated by the mood and tone of the word ‘beat.’ He insisted that the word possessed a deeper quality and meant something spiritual and mysterious. That kind of beatness is what Kerouac was describing in himself and his friends. They were bright young Americans that couldn’t fit into society as clean-cut soldiers or self-satisfied young businessmen. They were ‘beat’ because they didn’t have and didn’t believe in straight jobs. They had to struggle to survive, selling drugs for money to buy fo .....

A spiritual state of everlasting communion with God. Place of utmost happiness. A state of thought in which sin is absent and the harmony of divine mind is manifest. There are other ways, shorter ways, to .....

They also recieve demerits for little things such as having the wrong color bow in their hair. In soccer the coaches couldn't care less what is in your hair.
