As
I read One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s
Nest, by Ken Kesey, the details that the author gives are outstanding. Each
paragraph that I read, I get more and more involved and excited to read it. There
is so much detail about everything and I love that the author did that.
A
passage that related to my freshman year of high school is, “… standing in the
cold fall night out on the football field, waiting for the ball to be kicked
and the game to get going” (Kesey 198). This passage brings me back to when I went
to football games and had anticipation for when the game would start. When a
novel can bring back memories that I haven’t even thought about in years, that’s
when I start to really enjoy reading because the novel can relate somehow to my
life.
A
part in the novel I didn’t quite understand was when The Big Nurse came and
talked to the guys. In one part she says, “… we do not impose certain rules and
restrict you without a great deal of thought about their therapeutic value”
(Kesey 199). I don’t see how doing house chores has anything to do with “therapeutic
value”. It’s just house chores. I do house chores all the time and there’s no therapeutic
value to them at all.
Overall,
this novel has been a good novel to read, with the exception of that one part. I
would recommend this to read.
