OFOTCN

1. In the novel, women are either described as cold hearted and evil or sweet and ditzy. Take your pick.
2. Nurse Ratched's name is entirely her own! It is the perfect fit for her character, from her big breasted but manly face, to her awful attitude and rude demeanor.
3. Women become more and more independent after this era, but while in the Cuckoo's nest, it seems as though Ratched is frowned upon since she is a working woman and it's a huge feat that she runs things.
4. Do I find the book racist? No, there wasn't a whole lot of slurs or hateful things said about another race. Did I like the book is totally different though.
5. I believe the people of the ward looked up to McMurphy for his bravery and wit to try and out play the "big nurse". He seemed as though he was saint like. No wrong could happen with McMurphy.
 6. Everyone acted like children..needed punishment.
 7. Maybe to some war? Like ww2 or Korea? She's awful and seems like the ultimate dictator. "OH, you said something. LOBOTOMY!!"
8. Chief Bromden, to me, was the character to look out for, not only for his stature, but for his quiet, timid ways. He could snap at any point. He could over power any one in there. Yet, he never did. He was highly intelligent and yet, no one seemed to feel intimidated by him or recognize he was someone just as great as McMurphy.
9. Fruedian beliefs, to me, are bogus. They're wrong for the most part and seem idiotic, even with the times he created them. Mechanical phrases lost me.
10; Naturally grown=trusted....chemical=notgood.
11. This was popular novel since it seemed at that time the world lacked fun, and this is to show one person could invest his natural attitude and better those around him.
12. The answer is the same as 11 basically. /:
13. Democracy means nothing unless you hold power, and even then, you follow who is in charge rather than voice your own opnion.
14. "Insane people" were just misunderstood and different and belonged in the care of the man. Which meant lobotomies and death of personalities and souls.
15. McMurphy and gambling. He isn't afraid to risk , even if it costs him something dear.
16. Big Nurse basically demonstrates everyone's dislike of authority at times.
17. Authority wasn't well liked, and to this day, still isn't. 
18. Bromdens hallucinations are to describe people's reactions when they're on drugs and dealing with stress.
19. Laughter is Ratcheds downfall. It's to loosen the stress and angst of the book.
20. Everyone seemed normal, given the circumstances, It was the authority that truly belonged int he ward.
21. Kesey believed that society shouldn't change a person from who they are. It should strengthen them, not alter them completely.
22. Rhetorical devices used the most frequently are similes and hyperbole. Loads of comparisons are made to a plethora of things/people/ideas.

Stalin

When Lenin died in 1924, everybody expected Trotsky to take over the leadership.   Instead, Stalin schemed his way into power, using his position as General Secretary, and a series of ruthless political moves .This is how Stalin came into power; cheap schemes and wide rhetoric to beat out his only competitor. In many ways Hitler and Stalin were similar, except for the fact that we had an alliance with Stalin! We were allied with a murderer. What country are we, huh? 

No one exactly knows the exact number of deaths Stalin came to create, but to me, the answer is simple. If a dictator has people imprisoned or sent to camps, then he's ultimately responsible for their fate, so there is little distinction between killing people and deliberately letting them die of neglect.
The gap between high and low estimates is enormous. At the upper end one gets estimates ranging from about 40-60 million or even 100 million, at the lower end about 10-20 million. Clearly, there's ideological 'monkey business' at work. Until someone can reconcile these amazing discrepancies satisfactorily, and provide a very clear explanation of how the new figure is arrived at, it's impossible to say how many people Stalin had killed.

A murder is a murder; A life is a life; Death is death, no matter who dealt the last blow. 

He killed them. Each and every one. Maybe not by his hand, but by his orders, his rule and his own means.

VideoReflection of the Holocaust

Out of the books, memoirs, and articles I've read on the Holocaust, numerous experiences were explained and shared. From small girls like Anne Frank, to grown men like Levi, each story and experience is different from the last. While one reads the atricles and written words, some prefer to see videos of the "live action". Yes, this is an influential tool, and yes, it can be helpful, but one never knows if this video is completely accurate and if these aren't just paid actors re-enacting a scene from the original WRITTEN work.  I don't think these videos would add an influential piece to it.
Though, I did watch some as required, and they seem over - dramatized and fake.

SusanBAnthony Research

The resolution calling for woman suffrage had passed, after much debate, at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, convened by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. In The Declaration of Sentiments, a document based upon the Declaration of Independence, the numerous demands of these early activists were thrown out and sidecasted. The 1848 convention had challenged America to social revolution that would touch every piece of life. Early women's rights leaders believed suffrage to be the most effective means to change an unjust system.

There really aren't any sweat shops in the States, but those that are overseas are U.S responsibilities. Even though there isn't a specific definition of what a sweatshop is, exactly, though it's not the best for children or those working in the conditions.
