Shelby Searcy

For the summer assignment i'm reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I chose this book because, from taking psychology this past year at Lincoln, I have taken an interested in people with psychological disorders, what life is like for them, and how they view their world. From reading the brief summary of the book i took interest in it because i find it interesting what factors seperate us as "sane" or "insane" people. Im on the verge of finishing the book now and so far i find it very interesting. Its really got me thinking about people and their desperation to label everything anyone does wrong as symptoms of a psychological disorder so that it can be excused in our society. Im getting alot of meaning and deep thoughts out of it and im anxious to see how the movie compares.
