1.How does McMurphy compare to Jesus? He dies for his fellow inmates to escape, and Jesus died on the cross for us. But, this was not his intentions the entire time, so he is not completely like Jesus.
2. Why does Chieftrust Mcmurphy so much? Becuase in all of the years that chief has been there, McMurphy is the first person to actively display the same type of dislike towards the hospital that he feels himself.
3. Why Chief as the Narrarator? He gives a full perspective because for most the book he is believed to be a deaf mute, so people do not mind saying the truth in front of him.

In this ection there is kinf of an ongoing battle between the Big Nurse and McMurphy. They go back and forth trying to be in control at the ward but I think that Mcmurphy ends up winning the battle. The moment that he wins is when the other patients defy the nurse along with him and pull up chairs to watch the baseball game. This shows that in the battle for control of the ward, the other patients have moved away from Big NUrse and instead follow McMurphy. This does not sit well with the Nurse because she knows that it will be mmuch harder to keep the total control that she once had with the patients followin this rebellious patient.
Bromden obviously likes Mc Murphy, in fact it seems that he looks up to him. Bromden is still reliabe in my opinion because of two reasons. First, he is able to produce very clear descriptions of what is going on in the ward when he is not medicated. That being said, he is not able to do that when he is on medication. Second, because he is perceived as a deaf mute, people are willing to talk about their true feelings about the ward and the people inside because they assume he does not understand and obvioulsy wont pass it on to anyone else.

Cuckoos nest 1
1. The villain is the nurse because she is mean to the patients and subjects them to different treatments that cause a lot of pain like shock therapy. Also the orderly's go along with the Nurse's decisions so you couldsay that they are villains too.
2.So far the closest thing to a hero is the chief. In the story we feel bad for him and we sympathize with him, but never do we have morals or views that match up with his as far as we know. So, I would say that he is the antihero of the story, and there is no real hero yet.

Great Gatsby 3
What is revealed about Daisy at the end of the book?
Lots of excitement comes in the last three chapters, and although much of this focuses on Gatsby, Daisy is highlighted as well. We find out that Daisy's key characteristic flaw is that she is indecisive. She loves Gatsby and always has, but when confronted with it in the hotel room, she goes back on what she said .In the end, her indecision gets her in trouble when the fiasco with Myrtle occurs, and unknowingly to many, it is her fault. Her indecisive nature is a major weakness and is exploited in these final chapter.
Evaluate Daisy's love for tom and gatsby?
Daisy obvioulsly loves Gatsby, that is clear through most of the book, but there is a sort of feeling that she also has feelings for Tom. This is confusing because Tom is such a bad person, but it seems that he has won over the heart of Daisy through it all. However I do not think the connection with Tom is nearly as deep as it is with Gatsby but in fact Daisy is just content to remain withTom because he has money when she internally longs for Gatsby.
Why does Gatsby lie about being an Oxford man?
During the book we are under the illusion that Gatsby attended Oxford. In chapter 7, we learn that he went to Oxford for five months in an army program after the war. He lied because he wanted to seem good enough for Daisy. This was the reason for the majority of Gatsby's actions throughout the book. He throws the lavish parties and has a huge house to show Daisy that he is "elite" and can support her. He knows that Daisy would not stay with him if he went to a bad school, so he lies and tells her that he went to a great one.
What do the eyes mean?
The eyes throughout the entire book are repeatedly mentioned as being there, rather unnoticed, but there nonetheless watching everything and everyone. With this in mind, and with the hints in the text, it is safe to say that the eyes are God, who is constantly watching, even when we don't realize.

gatsby #2
The purpose of mayor wolfsheim is entirely to add to the mysterious nature of Mr. Gatsby. The mayor does this by diplaying to the audience that Gatsby has buisness connections that reach above even some of the upper class in this story and as an audience, up to this point we had been kept in the dark about this.
The history that Gatsby and Daisy shares gives us multiple insights. First it tells us that Tom was not neccesarily Daisy's first choice to marry, and she might be interested in someone else. Like perhaps Gatsby himself. Also, by giving us as an audience an isight to the past of Gatsby relieves some of the suspense and mystery that previously surrounded him.
The rest of the story also gives us insight on Gatsby. When gatsby is invited to join Nick and Daidy for tea his attitude swiftly changes into the demeanor of a child almost. He is rude and imatient with the others and it is honestly embarrassing for him. But, then he recollects his manners and makes up for his foolishness later on.
The overall story of the section is clearly Jay Gatsby, we learn intriguing insights into his previously mysterious life. Including his buisness ventures, which are still unclear, a history with Daisy, and multiple examples of mannerisms that we had yet to see from Gatsby.

Jimmy Roll Morton
I think that the music would add to Gatsbys parties by encouraging people to get up and dance and have fun. The mood to the music is very fun and exciting so it is easy to dance to. When I hear this song, the only activity I can envision gping with it is dancing.

Great Gatsby 1
In the introduction chapters to The Great Gatsby, it seems we meet four important characters. These characters are Nick, Tom, Daisy, and Gatsby. Nick is the narrator, and he is the good guy. He is a kind and intelligent hero who isn't perfect, but is classified as "a rose, an absolute rose” by Daisy (14). He does the right thing, and mentions he tries to reserve all judgement, and based on his actions, I believe Nick to be a hero.
Tom is a jerk. He is a retired star football player who has endless money and absolutely no moral values. Tom has a strong and cruel personality. He cheats on Daisy as if it were nothing, and acts as though he can do anything in the world because he is a former star. His actions and characterization leave the audience unimpressed and taken aback, so Tom is a villain.
We are not sure where Daisy fits into the story yet. She seems to have good intentions, and the audience is surely on her side when we find out she is being cheated on, but some of her actions and words are questionable. She tells Nick that she is If I had to classify her, she would fit mostly into the category of antihero.
Gatsby's role is foreshadowed greatly in this first section, making the audience believe he is a hero. He has a great deal of money, so much that he demands "five crates of oranges and lemons from a fruiterer in New York-every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulpless halves" (39). Despite rumors that he could have killed a man, Gatsby is written as a man of integrity and honor, classifying him as a hero.
