Ginsberg often wrote in a manner that seemed to mimic a conversation or the fashion in which someone speaks. It is awkward at moments and has many run-on sentences but this way of writing helped portray the very personal style of Beat work. The free verse structure allows for more control for the poet to explore ideas and
As best stated by Paul Alster, “ the truth of the story lies in the details.” When it comes to novels, the reader must partake in a close reading to get to the nitty gritty of what is trying to be said by the author and/or characters of that novel.

Violence has decreased in Mexico at this point but drug cartels have not been stopped. As drugs are being exchanged and bought, money should be going back towards the Mexican economy.
