One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Kesey

GREETINGS Mr. Coon!!

For our final paper, I chose to read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. I am a little less than half way through the novel. I had planned to read my novel during my flights to and from India, but that plan failed because when I had first gone to the bookstore they didn't have One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest so I bought Absalom! Absalom! (which I didn't particularly want to read since we have already read a book by Faulkner) but anyways when I returned from my trip I bought One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Despite not finishing the novel, I find the book rather engaging and entertaining.

As for paper topics, I am not quite sure what to write about. As of now, I am contemplating ideas involving the role of women as oppressors in the novel, particularly depicted by Nurse Ratched, or the challenging of authority as seen through McMurphy. These are very primitive ideas however so when I formulate much more structured ideas I will either talk to you or blog it.
