One Started To Read The Cuckoo's Nest

 Introducing characters and... Randle McMurphy

Welcome, my name is Enrique (some people like Henry) and I will be writting my thoughts about the all time classic One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, written by Ken Kesey.

During the first pages we meet the half - native American, Chief Bromden who serves as the narrator. He explains how the mental hospital works, a place where he has been since the end of World War II. It is an irony his role as the narrator given he pretends to be mute and deaf. Bromden tells us about the black boys, other patients, the routine of the mental hospital and the Big Nurse. Nurse Ratched, is the tyrannical head nurse of the mental institution, we soon learn everybody is afraid of her. At the end of his  description, we find out there is a new patiet, the rebellious convict Randle "Mac" McMurphy. With this character, the main events of the story will happen.
