Thank you for replying. I certainly do not want to give the impression that all young people do not like to read. Students who enjoy reading and examining literature are the reason why I enjoy my work so much.

Good for you on the AP English score. That is quite an accomplishment. Ken Kesey's novel is a rather sophisticated work, that certainly reflects the period in which it was written, in addition to exploring some disturbing and troubling views of the world. I find it difficult to share with young people who might not be of a certain maturity level. Impressive...I'm sorry to gush on and on...I love literature.

As do I! I plan on possibly majoring in English Lit! I am currently reading 100 Years Of Solitude, and I am in LOVE with it. I admit that it has some mature themes, but I feel that you can't really find any books that really challenge something in the social order without being mature in one way or another.

I personally love examining novels from the perspective of the way the gender's are portrayed. That is the reason I love Kesey's novel!
