Cuckoo's nest 2
AHA! I realize what Kesey did in this book! He used archetypes! Murphy, the Chief, and Billy all represent different roles people play in society, much like the boys in Lord of the Flies (collective groan). Kesey postulates that the only way to beat today's totalitarian system is to remain innoffensive but never submissive, biding your time until the oppurtunity for true escape presents itself. Excellent!

Glad you got your blog started, Stuart-- however, work a little bit more on them. These are all very short and not much is said (not necessarily the same thing). So, work on elaborating and saying more worthwhile things! :)
