Although the novel and the film had many things in common, they both have differences as well of representing the story. The movie April Morning did not do a good job of showing the whole story.

In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.

Suspicious of what it was, “Brian yanked the covers back. Lying on the mattress was on of those huge family-sized Hershey chocolate bars…”(174). Despite the fact that her children are malnourished and having to forage through the trash for their meals, Rose Mary has the audacity to buy a chocolate bar.

However she then flips the script to saying thank you in the fakest kindest way you can when a ball of spit is lodged at her from her fellow peers throats or even thinking that her name has been changed to the n-word by how many times she is called it through her time in central

I think that Margot from “All Summer in a Day” is knowledgeable because she knows a lot about the sun. “They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not recall.” Margot was knew at her school and she remembered the sun when the other kids could not and margot could explain what the sun looked like to them and some of the kids didn't believe her, this makes her knowledgeable because she knows how the kids will most likely react to the sun. “She knew they thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands.” Margot knew that the kids tried to remember the sun and she also knew that they thought that they remembered but margot knew they didn't because of the way they described it. “They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and
