Kesey's reason for Cuckoo's Nest

After snooping around and looking at different articles pertaining to Ken Kesey and the time he spent at the veteran's hospital being a human guinea pig, I found out some cool things about why he wrote Cuckoo's Nest. Kesey had realized that most veterans at the hospital who were supposedly insane were no different than him and that these people were not insane.  While under the influence of what seemed to be this harmless drug, Ken Kesey decided that society had recently taken a turn for the worse.  He came to a conclusion that these people who were forced to reside within the hospital just had a different outlook and perspective on life.  They were only people who did not fit to the mold of "normal" within society at the time.  Therefore, Kesey took it upon himself to write a novel that would show and portray that horrors of society and how we ostracize and discriminate against those who aren't "normal." This is how the novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest came to be.  He used his literary talents to show America and all of the world what they had been doing to these people who were not insane, but were unique and I thought that his cause did end up making a change, regardless of how small or large a role it may have played in the movement.
