=Group I: Culture of the 1950s- 1960s: =

Use the sites below to assist your research of the American culture of the 1950s and 60s. Understand the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower and its influence on this time in history. What started the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Movement for Equality? What progress was made in these movements at this time - What moved them forward? What hindered their progress? What impact did the Vietnam War have on the culture of the times? Create a dynamic presentation that captures that culture of the 1950s and the early 1960s. Relate the culture and history of the time to the events in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">He also wrote in collaboration with other authors, edited manuscripts, and added his talents to a <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">number of anthologies. Kesey, an interesting man, was a contributor to an era that questioned <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">authority and railed against it with actions as well as words. He was idolized years ago, and many <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">revere him today as a hero of literature and lifestyle. Using the following sites create a biographical <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">sketch of Ken Kesey, including the titles of his most important books. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Explain how the life of this interesting man influenced One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Many other authors of the same time period in which Ken Kesey lived wrote of subjects affecting them and society in general. While some writers may have been influenced by the popular <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">beliefs held by Kesey, they chose to emphasize other topics through their works. Maya Angelou, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">for example, was born a few years before Kesey, but her work deals with other societal issues and was written in completely different style than Kesey's. Research a minimum of three authors of this time period other than Ken Kesey. Compare these authors to Ken Kesey. Provide each author's date of birth (and death, if applicable) and provide two titles by each. Include the dates the books were published. Explain the key issues which influenced each of the authors. Some of the above links as well as these might help with this task.
