“The One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest The One Who Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) written by Ken Kesey, is about a patient who uses his persuasiveness to rally the others patients to overcome a power obsessed nurse. My first impressions of the story, was that it gained my interest with its creative cover page, which differentiate it from the other story selections. The beginning of the story was very uninteresting as it compacted dialogue, however continuing throughout the story the tale became very interesting as it introduced McMurphy and his schemes plans to eradicate Nurse Ratched influence. The conclusion of the story ended with McMurphy’s death by our Narrator

The first impression about the story was that it was to foretell the journey of an individual who journeys on his bucket throughout the day.

However I judged too soon, as it turned out that he was a generous and a helpful business dealer shown on page 2-3. His wife on the contrary presented herself in an ungenerous matter as she bargained with the Coal Dealer. The conclusion of the short story resulted with a cliff-hanger, with the Coal Dealer walking into the stormy cold. How I hoped the conclusion of the story would result with is the Coal Dealer finding shelter for the night while acknowledging that filling up his bucket is completed. Even though some short stories usually obtain a cliff-hanger for its conclusion, I’m the certain type of reader who needs to acknowledge a specific conclusion to the story. Considering this short story obtained only 3 pages, it was quite an emotional story to

    Through the insanity of the book and the relative normality of the film, One Flew Over the Cookoo’s Nest is drastically different on both platforms. In the book, the ward is a ferocious obstacle course of fog, rapists, a maniacal nurse, and hallucinations that make the Joker seem like an average joe, while the film portrays it more realistically, with doctors who act like doctors, nurses who perform normal nursing duties, and a ward which is as normal as a regular hospital. This is not just the case for the setting, but also the characters and their own relationships with one another. This is clearly seen in the effectiveness and differences of the relationship that McMurphy and Chief share in both the film and story. With the limitations of…
