Added/cut solid progress update

The works of literature I chose have been helpful in finding information on my topic. Each work and criticism has displayed a different perspective then the preceding work. I substituted Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for William Golding's Lord of the Flies. This decision allowed me to contrast book with the award winning movie. I added the film Forrest Gump, but cut the book since the movie was more adventurous and focused on Forrest's mental retardation. I added the movie I am Sam. The sources I have gathered and researched are developing the portrayal of mentally disabled characters in literature. The various outlooks perceived by various authors has shown true in describing the perception of the characters in literature.
