    Shoeless Joe is a magical realist novel by W.P. Kinsella set in the 1970’s. At this time period, baseball was the main sport and was often time described as part of the American dream where you can achieve your aspiration. The novel demonstrates the early ideas about baseball because the author uses Ray Kinsella, a baseball fanatic, who allows his imagination of the game to follow his dreams. The aspect of the game is not what draws Ray or the other characters in the story to baseball it is the true meaning behind the game that embodies their love for baseball. Furthermore, I argue baseball symbolizes dreams in the novel Shoeless…

    Some brief plot summary is necessary before discussing Mc Murphy’s character as a charismatic rebel leader. Mc Murphy chooses to live in a mental health institution despite the absence of mental illness. He finds other men in the same situation. These institutionalized men are called “acutes”. These men are felt to be hiding from society. They are contrasted to the “chronics”, men on the ward who have suffered lobotomies or who are not socially functional. An important scene that will be referenced is the watching of the World Series game. During one of the group meetings, Mc Murphy requested a change the daily schedule so the patients can watch the Series. The nurse agrees to a vote and only four out of ten of the acutes participate. In anger and frustration at this refusal to stand up to the nurse, Mc Murphy bets everyone he can lift an old hydrotherapy control panel. Everyone bets against him, and rightly so because he cannot lift the panel. Yet he states that he at least he tried. Later in another group meeting, Mc Murphy asks for a revote to which the Nurse agrees. The vote, being ten to zero, only counted the acutes. The Nurse states it was not a majority vote because the chronics were not included. This does not stop Mc Murphy. He goes to the TV, stands in front of the blank screen, and begins to call the game as if it were on television. The men then leave their jobs to watch the game. In another group meeting, Cheswick, an acute demands the end of the cigarette enforced by the Nurse because the men were gambling them…
