One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Kesey categorizes the patients in different groups by who well their mind is.One group is called the Acutes, they are the ones who haven't had their minds tampered with by the hospital. They are the ones who are still aware of the world they are living in. The other group are the Chronic's, who are in for good. They are divided into other smaller groups; Walkers, ones who could still eat and walk, and then Wheeler's and Vegetables, the ones who's body is awake, but their mind isn't. Separating them shows a comparison to the real world, symbolizing how the society is. We are divided by groups the hardworking, the ones who do most of the work, ones who copy from others, and the ones who are to lazy to do anything. And where you are placed in the different groups, is where you will stay. Kesey uses the English Language in incomplete words, "blazin' ", "callin' ", "hard-workin' ", he uses this type of language to display a difference between people who are isolated for so long and the ones who are living in the world. The main character, Chief Bromden, is not speaking in order to survive in this world of crazies. Which symbolizes how the world, environment, people, affect your behavior.
