《飞越疯人院》One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Diana K. One compelling illustration that progress is impossible without sacrifice is demonstrated in Ken Kesey's novel, One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. In this novel, which take place in a psychiatric hospital, the dictatorial Nurse Ratched controls and treats the patients unfairly. When a new patient Randle McMurphy attends the hospital, he rebels against Nurse Ratched's suppressive power. However, this achievement of power is not met without sacrifice as McMurphy receives a lobotomy as punishment for his rebellion.

点评：对小说的叙述直接了当、简明扼要，很有力地支持了文章主题。我特别喜欢 Dina 介绍 Ratched 护士的那段话“In this novel, which take place in a psychiatric hospital, the dictatorial Nurse Ratched controls and treats the patients unfairly.” dictatorial这个词用得非常好。
