"This is the trailer for a masterpiece..."
For my Second Quarter Independent Reading assignment, I have chosen to read the best selling novel and classic movie starring Jack Nicholson (tremendous movie, I strongly suggest it) One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. It’s told through Chief Bromden or "Chief Brom" because he's given the job as the floor sweeper, a half Native American patient at a local insane asylum who acts like he is deaf and dumb. The patients there are divided into groups: Acutes, Wheelers, Vegetables, and Chronics. There are three black guards and everyone obeys Nurse Ratched who is BIG... B-Word, a big one!!! If the patients don't obey the rules, like having their heads and "junk" shaved or don't take their medicine or question the authority... they will get shots or even worst... shock therapy. However, one day, a smart ass carefree Irish rebel named Randal McMurphy pretends to be crazy so he doesn't have to work in pea fields at jail. He’s been everywhere, done every woman and crime in the book. He excites the patients at the asylum, can see through Chief Bromden's facade and Nurse Ratched's as well. And she doesn't like it one bit...
