Dharma Bums 24-49

"Gee I wonder what will happen to him in the end."
" I think he'll end up like Han Shan living alone in the mountains writeing poems on the walls of cliffs, or chanting them to crowds outside his cafe." pg 32

This quote is said by Alvah to Ray about Jahpy. This quote I founs interesting because in kind of implys that Han Shan did this to get away. Not just because he wanted to but because he was not accepted and could not live in normal society. Alvah says this when Jahpy is really angree about something and this maybe impys that he will end up not accepted and not be able to live a nomral life ever.

"Thats the story of my life ritch or poor and mostly poor or truly poor." pg 45

This is said by Ray to Japhy about buying drinks. Ray moves around a lot and has many odd jobs and ways of getting money but not really one steady cash flow. He does not save his money when he has it he spends it and this is something very new to Japhy. He has grown up poor and always saving every last penny and not spludging on anything even drinks.
