"Where Dean? Where everybody? Where life? I had my home to go to, my place to lay my head down and figure the losses and figure the gain that I knew was in there somewhere too." (Page 107)
Sal is now kind of regretting the trip because he lost a lot! He lost money, he got the "bug" for bad things and got himself into bad influence. He did gain some good experience or maybe experience which he learned from. Maybe the "gain" was that he learned from his mistakes. He went through a lot and ended up with nothing in his hands really. In my opinion, I think he truly went on the trip just for Dean, but I don't understand why he didn't spend so much time with Dean when he actually went for him? He is the one he misses at the end, so why did he not stick with him when he was over there? I know Dean was into so many other things and girls, but Sal could of still spend more time with him. But then again, Sal is better off without Dean's influence because Dean wasn't such a great guy himself. So did Sal actually learn something from his experience or does he still want to be with Dean and do what Dean does?
