Background information
It was an unrest era in the 1960s and 70s for America. After a relatively rapid and steadyrecovery of domestic economic and political environment in post World War II, people beganto question about their spiritual life. A black man named Martin Luther King took theleadership of the Civil Rights Movement to fight for the deserved human rights of coloredrace.

expanded The Vietnam War, which just added fuel to the fire. Before long, American citizens became tire of the endless war and the heavy burden brought by it.At that time, a counterculture movement came in vogue and spread worldwide, includingcontents like opposition to the war, black nationalism, and the sexual revolution. Most of the participants were groups of young men called Hippies.

They enjoyed and created psychedelic rock, used alternative arts, street theatre, folk and blue music to express their feelings about the society and they also used drugs such ascannabis and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness.

Theywere mostly pacifist and took part in non-violent political demonstration, such as civil rightsmarches, the marches on Washington D.C., and anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. TheHippies culture has left a significant legacy to human beings and has great influence on eventoday's lifestyle and value theory of people. One of the most influential form is Hippiesliterature, in which they recorded what they experienced, what they felt about and what theythought about the society. Among them, we have

Later he went to Californiaand made his living by working as an orderly on the night shift at a mental health hospital.There he not only witnessed the treating on the patients, but also made conversations withthem. This experience made him start to feel for the so called mental disease patients and also provided him enough information to accomplish his novel in 1962. In 1975,
