Cookoo two

I believe that Nurse Ratchet is winning the power struggle because of her carefree attitude towards McMurphy's power gains which leads us to believe that he does not have much power at all. The only time her demeanor is swayed is when he disrespects her whilst in his whale underwear. Despite that Nurse Ratchet's composure is the source to her winning the power struggles with McMurphy. McMurphy has made Chief more confident, and doubting himself with why he has remained silent for all of these years. Also, it gives hope to Chief that he can one day become like his father was, or the man he was destined to be. Chief''s ideas changed once McMurphy came in and began to laugh, and I believe this was the source of Chief's changing beliefs.

Cookoo one

Hero: McMurphy- He livens up the whole ward, and does his best efforts to work against the villain, the big nurse. He also shows his compassion when he does not hustle the guys for the cigarettes, but instead wins them back. McMurphy is the hero because he is in contest with the villain to do the right thing, and also is a compassionate guy that is easily related to by the audience.
Villain: Nurse Ratchet- She does not seem to be in the best interest of the patients, but rather in a harmful pursuit of power. She displays this through the words of Chief Bromden when describing her way of blowing up at patients.
Anti-Hero: I do not thing there is a true anti-hero in the story. I think it is just a simple battle between hero and villain.

Final Gatsby

1. Was the death of Myrtle significant?
I believe that Myrtle's death was more of a kick-start for the dramatic ending. Her sudden death has to due with the way of Gatsby's death. This relation might be a little abstract, but it proves the significance of her death. Basically without the death of Myrtle and the reactions/repercussions of her passing Gatsby's death would either not be there, or be even more unexpected. This proves the significance of her death, and makes it more symbolically noteworthy.
2. What is the main theme of the novel?
The main theme of the novel is the lack of morals in the upper class of society. First we see this through Nick's observations of Gatsby's party. Later we see this as an example of Tom's disrespect to his wife and reckless behavior. Lastly, the judgement of the characters breaking societal rules when crossing the valley of ashes proves to redemonstrate this theme. Through Fitzgerald's evidence we can concur that his primary theme was the lack of morals and respect in the upper class.
