    All books I read in English class this year all have something in common. After reading the foreword to Cuckoos Nest by Chuck Palahniuk‚ I was able to better connect these three pieces of literature.

    As we continue to read and analyse One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest‚ we stumble upon several powerful episodes that bring new dimensions to the book and challange our perception of its characters. In my opinion‚ among those breaking points is a scene that depicts Mack Murphy’s attempt to lift the Control Panel.
