lost in the transition between book and movie. In the book, Bromden has
flashbacks to his childhood, lighting on significant points in his
childhood. His background is never even brushed upon in the movie. Of
course it would have been nearly impossible to tell of Bromdens life in a
movie, much less show the world from his point of view as in the book.
Bromden is still a very interesting character but the real puzzle to his
problems is lost.
McMurphy is a very sly, cunning man. He knows how to play his game
and does it well. In the book as McMurphy progresses, he goes through many
stages where he is rebellious, then do .....

captives of the truth, they laugh at and ridicule the
enlightened one, for the only reality they have ever known is
a fuzzy shadow on a wall. They could not possibly

John Steinbeck
Words: 1079 - Pages: 4.... result is very poor.
Theme: Without a doubt it is companionship. The friendship between George and Lennie is so close that George takes it up for his feeble-minded friend and protects him above all, even his own interests. It is like a sacred bond, and this makes them different from people who are just on their own. Seeking friendship is also to be seen in Candy, Curley's wife and Crooks.
Characteristics: The story is set in California, and that is what Steinbeck is good at, he loves it and knows it very well. The construction is somewhat weird, Steinbeck tried to make it a novel that could be acted or a play that could be read as a novel .....

physical aspects of the story – the characters and setting, an entertaining and
eventful plot, and the lasting truths the story's themes express.
The most vivid memories of this story come from the striking
descriptions of the physical aspects of the story. Mark Twain immediately
brings the story to life with his introduction of the characters and their
surroundings. From here, the familiarity of the characters and setting
continues to grow. The depictions of the characters, both in mannerisms and
dialogue, are so picturesque that Tom's superstitions and fantasies soon cause
no great sur .....

With the exception of "My Old Man", which is entirely in the first person , and "On the Quai at Smyrna", which is only possibly in the first person, there is just one instance in In Our Time in which a character speaks in the first person. It occurs in "Big Two-Hearted River: Part II", an intensely personal story which completely immerses the reader in the actions and thoughts of Nick Adams. Hemingway's utilization of the omniscient third person narrator allows the reader to visualize all of Nick's actions and surroundings, which would have been much more difficult to accomplish using first person narration. Nick .....

They are perfect practicing physicians(l. 432), given that they know the cause of every malady and infliction the body can withstand(ll. 429,430). They appear to many as one to provide an extended hand to anyone in need. But there is a price to be paid for their services, and their eyes cannot oversee the wealth that is due to them. The Doctor then is the same as a witch doctor now, with their appearances different, but their intentions and thoughts the same.
