-this is my intro for my comparison paper...
The Dharma Bums and Death of Justina provide examples of the search for discovering who you are, what you want out of life, and how to know when you find it. While the characters in these books are in different places in their lives, they share a similar search for their innersole. Using journey as a metaphor, Ray and Japhy, in The Dharma Bums, and the father, in The Death of Justina, each set out, either inwardly or outwardly, in an effort to understand whom they are and rearrange their priorities. Being able to know and realize what you really want is one thing, but knowing who you are as a person contributes to ongoing happiness.
