-By the end of part 1, I feel like McMurphy has the upperhand in his rivalry against Nurse Ratchet because He really wants to wreak havoc in the ward and take power of Nurse, which he is doing as of far. He is also getting followers amongst the patients on his side, so he is doing well inthe mental institute.
-I think that chief is a smart being who we can most likely depend upon. At the begining of the book, his narrations were sad and dreary, but with the presence of McMurphy he has started to become happier and more involved in the ward, like in group therapies. Also since everyone thinks he's some deaf idiot, they arent afraid to hide emotions and secrets around him, giving him a sense of importance to the readers besides the narration.
-Right now, I'm rooting for McMurphy because although she is trying to prepare them for the real world, she is very cruel about her ways to the patients. And with McMurphy standing up for the patients and himself, his views to improve their conditions, makes me root for him.

One Who Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest #1
In One Who Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest I would definately say that Nurse Ratchet and her assistants are the villains because they are constantly being rude to the patients, they are mistreating them by not always feeding them (8-9) and are always unfair. I would say that McMurphy is an antihero because He sticks up for himslef and others against the black boys and nurse ratchet, but he would be an anti hero because he is in a mental hospital for gambling which is against our views.
I would say that Chief Bromden is the hero because I feel like he has good motives to become a member of the group in the ward and I feel bad for him, because everyone thinks he's useless.

Great Gatsby Blog #3
Why do you think Gatsvy lied about attending Oxford?
Oxford is a very prestigous and expensive school, so I think Gatsby told people he went to school there to show his high class and impress people, especially Daisy. This school would show off his credentials and wealth to his "friends". This helped push the point farther to Daisy that he could support her and her needs.
How do your feelings toward Daisy change at the end of the book? If it doesn't Why?
Throughout the book, I couldn't decide if I loved or hated Daisy for all of her actions, but when Gatsby died and she left like she didn't even know who he was, I had made my decision. I hated her. Her and GHatsby were recreating their once special bond, but when he died, she just fled with her unfaithful lover. This made me lose a lot of respect for her. I don't feel bad for her anymore because she makes the worst decisions ever.
How does the attendance of guests at patries compare to Gatsby's funeral?
When Gatsby Held parties, it was not limited to his friends, but to people he had never met or even seen before. Not many invited, but a large crowd would soon form. But at his funeral, his so called friends wouldn't be seen near his resting place, even though they were invited this time. This makes you feel even more sorrow towrds Gatsby and disgust for the partyersthat were to inconsiderate to show their respects to the deceased.
How would you characterize Nick's character, Dynamic or Static?
Nick would completely be a dynamic character, because he went through a huge change from the begining to the end of the book. At first, he was intrigued by the way of life of the elite (Tom and Daisy). But as the story progressed, his opinnion soon became to change as he saw the personal life of the elite and how messed up their life was. This drastic change in mindset would classify him as a dynamic character.
