Cuckoo's Nest TEST MONDAY (April 20th)

Just a reminder that Monday is your Cuckoo's Nest exam!! HERE is the Study Guide.

There will be 45 Multiple Choice questions AND a passage analysis.

For the passage analysis you will need to 1) annotate the passage and 2) write a short two-paragraph explanation of what you found and how it connects to the major themes in the book.

We practiced annotating together. Here is an example of really great annotation:

In case you are having trouble remembering some of our lectures:

• HERE is the lecture about Ken Kesey (the author) and his background
• HERE are those two videos about power and conformity (the Milgram and Asch experiments)
