They think he is a beast because he is a clone of El Patron, also known as the druglord. The solution is that Matt wants to go to opium and fix it. He also wants to go and find and free the eejits. The judgement I want to make is that I think Tam Lin was a good person and meant good in the world. One reason for this is, “If I could read and write, I would help you become smarter Laddy.” Another reason why Tam Lin is a good guy is when He takes him out to the field and wants to have fun and talk to Matt about some things. The last reason why I think Tam Lin was a good guy is that he cared for Matt when other people like El Patron didn’t want anything to do with him. That’s why I think Tam Lin is a great guy and meant to bring no harm to the world. I think of the book was going to go on, I think Matt would risk himself to free all the eejits because he seems like he really wants them free. I think he would succeed then someone would find something to do with them. The most …show more content…

    The author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Kesey, presents the ideas about venerability and strength by using his characters and the way they interact with each other to establish whether they are a submissive or a dominant, tamed or leading, venerable or strong. Kesey uses strong personalities to show the drastic difference between someone who is vulnerable and someone who is strong.

Keys also exhibited vulnerability throughout characters such as Chief Bromden and his extensive habit of hiding himself in all means possible from Nurse Ratchet. Another idea presented by Kesey is a character’s false thought on what

    The main character of “Wonder” is August/Auggie Pullman. August is a 10-year-old boy and is attending school for the first time. August has long bangs that conceal his face to people, due to his facial issues. As for his face we do not ever get a description of his face, although he does use the quote “I will not describe how I look, but whatever your thinking it is probably worse”. This kind of gives me the idea that he has a deformed face, but not that bad, this line however contrasts to how the characters react when they see his face meaning that if a child happened to see his face it would give them the chills.
