“On The Road” by Langston Hughes

In the novel “On The Road” by Langston Hughes he seems to use nature to represent the relationship between blacks and whites. He uses snow to symbolize the whites and night to symbolize the blacks. This makes the book less invasive and the people that read it will not look so much into that part as to what the book is really leaning towards. He uses the example, Sargeant didn’t see the snow, not even under the bright lights of the main streets. He is tired of the snow and or the white people that have made his life so difficult his whole life. The best part of the whole readings is how he reminds is that if you mix snow and dark it makes perfection. In other words they go perfect together, harmony. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing falling snow flakes in the night.
