Professor Coan ENGL 135 29 October 2006 Are We Alone? Since humans first walked the earth we have looked up and wondered if it is possible to be alone in the vast universe in which we inhabit just one small planet. Often while gazing up the skies man has seen things he could not explain‚ and for the last fifty years or so these things have taken on the label "UFOs."

Marxist Comparison Between The Heart Of Darkness and One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest The definition of classism is the belief that people from certain social or economic classes are superior to others. When viewed from a Marxist perspective‚ Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness can be seen as a comment on negative treatment of lower class individuals.

He says‚ “I haven’t heard a real laugh since I came through that door‚ do you know that? Man‚ when you lose your laugh you lose your footing…” (65).

Dystopian Themes In dystopian novels‚ it is often seen that the way of living is not favorable and many common themes occur throughout different dystopian novels and some not so typical dystopian novels.

During the group therapy session‚ McMurphy notices that the Nurse ignites all the conflict at first so he explains‚ “The flock gets sight of a spot of blood on some chicken and they all go to peckin’ at it” (Kesey 57).
