Dharma Bums 49-72

"Well you boys goin huntin this mournin?"
"No''m," said Japhy, "just climbing Matterhorn."
"Matterhorn, why I woudln't do that if somebody paid me a thousand dollars!" pg 51

This quote I found interesting because it showed how different they are then the normal people. Even people of the back county area didn't climb this mountain. They do things out of the ordinary, and out of the normal peoples ideas.

"Look over there," sang Japhy, "yellow aspens. Just put me in the mind of a haiku....." pg 59

This really shows Japhy's personality and how he sees things. He sees these trees and thinks what he can write about them and a haiku comes to his mind. This shows him and his unique talent. each one of them is good at differnt things and this is his like when smith thanks him for teachihng him writeing.
