It is amazing how some things can be so alike and yet so different. That is certainly shown in “1984” by George Orwell and “One flew over the cuckoo's nest” by Ken Kesey. Although these two books are different it is amazing how some of the themes and characters overlap.

The gin and pills are given out enough to subdue them, make them relax a bit. They mess with their perception, their emotions, their state of mind. They’re stuffed so full of gin and pills it makes them weak minded and
