Writing in Response to Kesey (Some suggestions)

This book takes place in a mental hospital filled with people from a very young age to a very old age. Some were force to enter the mental hospital by certain strangers and others were being brought their by their family members such as their wife. Each of these people are there with a certain kind of mental illness.

The narrator of this story is Chief Broomden. He's being known as Chief Broomden because his job is to sweep up the place. He's half Indian and half American. Chief Broom is one of the Chronics. He's been there since the World War II. Everyone believes that he is mute and death.

Since everyone comes to a conclusion that he's death and mute, no one ever really pays him any attention. It is a benefit for Chief Broomden to be our narrator because he gets to listen to a lots of other people's conversation. He than started to share all the benefits that he has gathered about other patient there. Also, since he's the patient who stays there the longest, he can provide us with information that he have witness or experience himself.

Broomden describe how there are machines that shaves him everyday, the activities that he and other Chronics and Acutes does everyday at what time. He also describes what he saw happens to Harding, Ruckly, and other Chronics and Acutes that was being force by the big nurse and the three black boys to get an operation. One person operation was very successful according to the big nurse for they really listens to her.There are others who the three black boys and big nurse consider as their failure such as Ruckly. Instead of healing him, him end up being blind. He hated his wife for sending him into such a place.

The disadvantage for having Broomden as a narrator is that he cant really tell much about his life. Also, u can't tell how everyone would have interact with him if he were to commute and his social life. Will he be able to just be a by stander at some of these incident or will he be one of those that the big nurse will make an experience with.
