Back To The Cuckoos Nest ....

At the beginning ...

The book starts out with introducing the insitution and the nurses

and all of the patients currently in the ward, starting with an

important character named "CHIEF." Chief is a tall, indian

man who can seem quite overwhelming to others. The ward

thinks that Chief is deaf and mute, he never speaks, and they claim

he cannot hear anyone.

A little while later, McMurphy is introduced. McMurphy is a cocky

self-centered mand who is only concentrating on one thing right now,

and that is over powering the ward with his rules. He doesn't have

many friends at the ward at the beggining of the book, and he pretty

much just acts quite obnoxious toward anyone who will let him,

including the nurses and employees.
