Catcher - Introduction pages 9 - 29

Each day you will find new questions. Please answer them fully with details and quotations.

  • Describe the following characters - Chief, Nurse Rachet, McMurphy - only include elements of their apprearance if there is a significance to their personality or motivation. Attempt to look into their character.

Example: Nurse Ratchet - enters the story with the narrator stating "she slides through the door with a gust of cold" (10). I believe the word cold represents her. She seems very matter of fact and has little concern for the patients.

  • Why does Kesey use the character of Chief as the narrator?
  • What is the purpose of the Log Book? What does it tell you about what goes on in the institution?
