The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test Summary

Tom Wolfe spent time following Ken Kesey (“One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest”) and his band of Merry Pranksters. Wolfe mainly focused on their heavy use of psychedelics, and what this meant in terms of the culture Wolfe also put himself into the story, but kept his writing relatively objective. However, he not only wrote it as a narrative, but used a variety of poetic techniques as well, often describing things in a metaphorical way and formatting the text in odd ways in order to convey the sense of the Acid culture. (Tichenor, 2010).

Ken Kesey’s figurative language in his novel, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, suggests that broken individuals can connect and make each other whole again. The traumatic events that occur when the patients are younger still affect them in their current state. For example, throughout his life, Bromden has always been assumed to be deaf and dumb. When he spoke to people their “machinery dispose[d] of the words like they weren’t even spoken” (181). Kesey’s metaphor represents how Bromden feels that the Combine influences him. When Bromden speaks, the words do not “fit” in the listener’s brain and they ignore him (181).

Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest operates as an entertaining and interesting novel on a pure surface level. There’s a good story, well-developed characters and fresh language. It has all the workings of a good novel, but One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest isn’t just a good novel. It’s a great one, because Kesey uses Chief Bromden’s perspective to let imagery flow out of the novel and have it all come back to one theme: individuality and its repression by society. This idea is highlighted by the image of gambling vs. playing it safe, whether in literal card games or as a way of living. The mental ward’s new patient, Randle Patrick McMurphy, is a self-described “gambling fool” (12)1, while his opposer, “Big Nurse” Ratched,

Because of this mastery of multiple languages I feel it has provided him an advantage on getting insight on the different cultures he has studied since knows the language. The reason I say this is due to the fact that all languages have different meanings and innuendoes built that none speakers might not pick up. One example of this in the English language is sarcasm. Also, it has always been said that little things get missed through translation, because not all languages translate verbatim with each other. For this book, he elected the help from several sources.

This is the combination produces Sodium Bicarbonate which releases CO2g and other products. When the pressure in the container reaches maximum pressure, the lid will pop off releasing the gas and making it fly upwards.

From what does the self originate? For ages, humans have pondered the nature of their personalities. Several theories have been presented over the years, One implies that a person’s traits are determined at birth and that one’s personality may be ingrained into their very DNA; while another sates that the environment in which the subject is in affects their characteristics far more than any deep-seated traits. This question, as well as many others, are topics that are brought to exhibition in Tom Wolfe’s book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Set in the late 1960’s, Wolfe tells the true story Ken Kesey and his band of followers, the Merry Pranksters, who brought the psychedelic drug movement to the forefront of American culture.
