Sylvia Plath accomplished great literary achievements throughout her career. As a student and poet, she excelled. Despite this, some may believe that her success and fame only came from the fact that she killed herself and was mad, which is not necessarily the case.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest is a terrific novel, about an Oregon Psychiatric Hospital, and the events that occur in a ward within it. Ken Kesey takes a daring approach on a dysfunctional situation governed by a mechanical, uptight, and appearingly emotionless Miss Ratched. The tale is told through the eyes of Chief Bromden, a tall “Indian”, who has a very complex psychological problem of his own.

My writing portfolio includes my best work that was completed within The Beginners Creative Writing class.
