Inside the pot, the slow-cooked ingredients identified itself as Elizabeth’s rabbit soup. A glance was enough to discover the piquant combination of small diced fresh vegetables from the farm. The faint grey lining along the rim of the pot, the result of the absence of portions of the soup, reminded me of the late time of my…

One can argue any point as long as it can be proven through the author’s text. This novel is rich with theories and philosophy; however, thorough my eyes I can see that Kesey used the theme of social construction, characterization to demonstrate gender roles and symbols to create awareness of social issues that were relevant at his time, yet prevalent…

The attitudes that were talked about like, anti-Irish sentiments, dissension about the Civil War among New York citizens and the attitudes towards the blacks by Nativists and Irish immigrants was abundant with historical realism.
