Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest operates as an entertaining and interesting novel on a pure surface level. There’s a good story, well-developed characters and fresh language. It has all the workings of a good novel, but One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest isn’t just a good novel. It’s a great one, because Kesey uses Chief Bromden’s perspective to let imagery flow out of the novel and have it all come back to one theme: individuality and its repression by society. This idea is highlighted by the image of gambling vs. playing it safe, whether in literal card games or as a way of living. The mental ward’s new patient, Randle Patrick McMurphy, is a self-described “gambling fool” (12)1, while his opposer, “Big Nurse” Ratched,

Ken Kesey’s figurative language in his novel, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, suggests that broken individuals can connect and make each other whole again. The traumatic events that occur when the patients are younger still affect them in their current state. For example, throughout his life, Bromden has always been assumed to be deaf and dumb. When he spoke to people their “machinery dispose[d] of the words like they weren’t even spoken” (181). Kesey’s metaphor represents how Bromden feels that the Combine influences him. When Bromden speaks, the words do not “fit” in the listener’s brain and they ignore him (181). Being a large Native American man, Bromden does not fit into the mold that is set by the Combine (societal expectations), so

Because of this mastery of multiple languages I feel it has provided him an advantage on getting insight on the different cultures he has studied since knows the language. The reason I say this is due to the fact that all languages have different meanings and innuendoes built that none speakers might not pick up. One example of this in the English language is sarcasm. Also, it has always been said that little things get missed through translation, because not all languages translate verbatim with each other. For this book, he elected the help from several sources. He spent a page and a half listing out people such as Ehud Sprinzak (Israel), Zaid Abu-Amr (Hamas movement), Warden David Rardin (prison interviews), and many more to that could be listed.

Most people say that the home is where the heart is. More than just where one lives, home is where one can relax after a long and tiring day, or where one can be with their loved ones around them. Similarly to Odysseus’s, the featured hero in Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey, home is Ithaca, an island in the Ionian Sea of Greece, where his beloved wife, son, and kingdom is. While my Ithaca is different than Odysseus’s, my Ithaca still contains meaning and provides me with a purpose to work hard.

From what does the self originate? For ages, humans have pondered the nature of their personalities. Several theories have been presented over the years, One implies that a person’s traits are determined at birth and that one’s personality may be ingrained into their very DNA; while another sates that the environment in which the subject is in affects their characteristics far more than any deep-seated traits. This question, as well as many others, are topics that are brought to exhibition in Tom Wolfe’s book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Set in the late 1960’s, Wolfe tells the true story Ken Kesey and his band of followers, the Merry Pranksters, who brought the psychedelic drug movement to the forefront of American culture.

Drugs are a serious problem in today’s world; they are becoming more accessible and increasingly affordable to everyone, including teenagers, who seem to be especially vulnerable to falling into this endless pit of doom. In order to reduce drug offense rates, there need to be firm laws that dictate the consequences for major offenses. Mandatory minimum sentences effectively fulfill this, by instilling fear into those who contemplate abusing or selling drugs, and they make sure drug offenders are held accountable for their actions by punishing more reprehensible crimes and decreasing bias in the court setting.
