...Karen Dolan<br />2:11am on Saturday, January 29, 2011 <br />I just read Ken Kesey's novel "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest" 30 years after the first time I read it. http://bethlehem.patch.com/articles/toxic-rhetoric-or-failed-mental-health-system<br /><br />Berine<br /><br />Karen Dolan is Ratched and she is a school teacher and don't get the book at all!!! Wooooooooooow no wonder are kids lost and behind.<br /><br />The book is about:<br /><br />1.The struggle between the individual and the system that demands one conform.<br />2.The battle between male virility and sterility in a matriarchal society.<br />3.Society has expectations they want you to follow. If you try to break these expectations or challenge them there is usually negative consequences to deal with.<br /><br /><br />Chief view is dominated by his fear of what he calls the Combine, a huge conglomeration that controls society and forces people into conformity.<br />The mental patients, all male, are divided into Acutes, who can be cured, and Chronics, who cannot be cured. They are ruled by female Nurse, Ratched a nurse who runs the ward with harsh, mechanical precision. McMurphy is sent there because want to get over. McMurphy is a non conformist not mental. After McMurphy experiences his first Group Meeting, he tells the patients that Nurse Ratched is a ball-cutter. The other patients tell him that there is no defying her, because in their eyes she is an all-powerful force.<br /><br />McMurphy’s insubordination, however, stimulates the rest of them into rebellion. McMurphy stages a protest by sitting in front of the blank television instead of doing his work, and one by one the other patients join him. Nurse Ratched loses control and screams at them. <br /><br />See Karen Dolan can't let this happen at the Beth. town hall meetings!!<br /><br />Witnesses the harsh reality of electroshock therapy and becomes genuinely frightened by the power wielded by the staff.<br /> <br />The cop thing Berine.<br /><br />The weight of his obligation to the other patients and his fear for his own life begins to wear down his strength and his sanity. Nevertheless, McMurphy arranges a fishing trip for himself and ten other patients. He shows them how to defuse the hostility of the outside world and enables them to feel powerful and masculine as they catch fish. He also arranges for Billy Bibbit to lose his virginity later.<br /><br />The aides discover the mess the next morning, setting off a series of violent events. When Nurse Ratched finds Billy with Candy, she threatens to tell Billy’s mother. Billy becomes hysterical and commits suicide by cutting his throat. McMurphy attacks Ratched, attempting to strangle her. In retaliation, she has him lobotomized, and he returns to the ward as a vegetable. However, Ratched has lost her tyrannical power over the ward. The patients transfer to other wards or check themselves out of the hospital. Bromden suffocates McMurphy in his bed, enabling him to die with some dignity rather than live as a symbol of Ratched’s power. Bromden, having recovered the immense strength that he had believed lost during his time in the mental ward, escapes from the hospital by McMurphy’s plan of breaking through a window with the hydra. wash basin.<br /><br />Well were did I get it wrong???
