The Beat Generation is a product of history. If the world is quiet for too long, sooner or later, young people will jump out and accuse social injustice, and have a strong desire to be free and break free from all shackles.
"I'm still young, and I'm eager to hit the road." - Jack Kerouac
Because we're still young, there's something called impulse in our blood. Use their keen senses to feel this society. Drugs, marijuana, and hallucinogens are addictive, but they are given unlimited fantasy and creation. They enjoy this stimulation but want to return to normal. They are in troubled times, so they are more Pray for peace.
Carr is rebellious, charming, innocent, and sharp. He exudes the allure of youth, attracting allen, jack, david, and willim. They are what he needs, not what he wants. He has a yearning for new literature, he has a kind of admiration for writers, and he feels that writers can fight against this unfair and dull social status quo with their own writing. But he doesn't need their love, and he doesn't want it.
He committed suicide at 18, david saved him, fell in love with him, followed him. carr thinks he can spend the perfect day with him, he knows that david loves him, and himself... but no, although he doesn't think he is noble, he doesn't want to be brought into that dirty world. Look, this is the contradictory Beat Generation where radical and conservative coexist!
His secret cannot be known by others, so he chooses to run away. His rebelliousness and unwillingness to be ordinary began to play a role, so he shouted at the principal. "How can you konw everything about everyone?"
-- Maybe, he just feel scared. So...love&scared,Which one can be the winner?

He remembered, "Life is round. That we're stuck on this wheel of living and dying. An Endless circle until someone breaks it. circle until someone breaks it)"
So, he's going to be the one who breaks.
But he doesn't know, "Some things, once you've loved them, become yours forever. And if you try to let them go, they only circle back and return to you. They become part of who you are. Or they destroy you (Those you once loved are yours forever. Don't try to get rid of them, because they will always come back. Become a part of you. Or, they will destroy you.)
