1.Personal Liberation is defined in the book as the clearing of the fog, and understanding what is going on around you. OFOCN isn't exactly anti-women,it is more of an anti-authority book. The good female characters probably would be the prostitute Candy. It would offer the prospect of seeing into a man's mind
2. Nowadays, ratched means ghetto, but during this time, it probably meant horrible, which fits her perfectly.
3. For this book, America is a matriarchy because women were more take charge.
4. I would think it is racist, because the author describes the black people as rapist, lazy, and abusers.
5. Kessey made an allusion to McMurphy being crucified, so that would be Christ like, and Candy would be Jezebel, who was the whore in the Bible.
6. This is like America because during this era in time, all the hippies were trying to revolt, and so were the nutcases in the asylum.
7. The parallel is Nurse Ratched verses the patients. McMurphy is always mentioning Korea so that this parallel becomes more obvious.
8.  Bromden is an Indian guy that pretends to be deaf and dumb in order to reveal secrets. I don't know why it is significant. The Combine represents the world. His liberation comes when he escapes.
9.It is influenced by Freudian thought because Freud was a famous psychologist and this book is about crazy people.
10.This tells us that the hippies thought their "natural" drugs, or whatever they were taking were safer than the drugs issued out by the regular society.
11.It became influential because it was  symbol for a lot of the things they believed in.
12. This was a powerful satire because it spoke of rebellion and acting out. America went wrong when they started enforcing rules he felt was wrong.
13.It is cynical about democracy because that was just the time it was written in, and it is shown by Nurse Ratched's relationship with the patients.
14.This shows that the more radical they were, the more you fit in in this time period.
15. It is important because it shows that he is a con man, and a sinner. The authorities don't like it because they feel gambling is wrong.
16.Big Nurse is a symbolism for communism or the government.
17.Liberation is portrayed by the patients realizing that they could leave, and didn't have to take the treatment they were getting, and left. It differs from political solutions because the patients did this with the help of McMurphy.
18. It becomes apparent in some of the words he uses, but that could be just him. Idk.
19. For Kessey, it means getting the upperhand.
20. I really don't want to answer all these questions, soooo... Overall the book is about a bunch of crazies. No.
21.I would suggest that society just go and do whatever they want to do and everyone be prostitutes, drug addicts, and crazies and that would make Kessey happy.
22. I don't recall the use of much rhetorical devices besides flashback(if that even counts as one)
