One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest part III

Something that stuck out to me about part three was when McMurphy tests the patients by refusing to help them once they are out to sea. Like the bible tells us Jesus took his twelve disciples to the sea and left them. When the storms came they seen that they accucally needed Jesus so they he came and saved them. But just like the Jesus story they begain to see themselves as men. They proved that they can believe in themselves and the power of eachother.

CC NEST PART 2

Part two Starts with Harding's wife comes for a visit. Harding makes fun of her grammar. After she leaves, McMurphy is very mad and beings to yell when Harding asks him what he thinksing of her.
The patients are then taken to get chest X rays for TB where McMurphy finds out that the that Nurese Ratched can send anyone to undergo electroshock therapy.
It is at this point that Mc Murphy understands that they submit to her not only because she is able to authorize these treatments, but also because she determines when they can leave the hospital. Harding informs him that, to the contrary, Scanlon is the only Acute aside from McMurphy who is committed. McMurphy asks Billy Bibbit why he chooses to stay when he could be outside driving a convertible and romancing pretty girls.
Billy Bibbit begins to cry and shouts that he and the others are not as big, strong, and brave as McMurphy.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Part One

In the first few pages of the book we meet Chief Bromden and he quickly is identified as the narrator of the story. We learned that his is a patient in the ward. We think that he is easly perswaded by the others in the ward. Because he acts so shy and timad noone thinks his is of very importance. There are many symbols in the story . One important symble is fog. The fog has the ability to symbolizes that Chieft Bromden has a lack of reality. Because at time ignorace can seem like bliss, Chief Bromden doesnt mind the fog. he can escape from the problems. McMurphy becomes a strong and impowered character in the book. He wants Chief Bromden and all the residence of the ward to go out into the fog.

When watching the play Hamlet....

I found the play at the Lantern Theater very enjoying.

Although I found the costumes very different and surprising, I understand why the director chose to style the actors in this manner.  Ophelia’s dress was very modern which at first confused me. She also appeared younger then Hamlet. I believe that this is because Ophelia is very immature in the play. He headband and flats showed how naive and young the young girl really is which could be the reason why she was always running to her father and telling on her love, Hamlet

The energy of the play was fun and upbeat and I found little time for distraction. When watching the play I was impressed with the different stage directions as well as the way the actors moved quickly even in the dark. I enjoyed when the actors came out after the play to speak with us. 

Hamlet Act II

This act discusses the madness that Hamlet is enduring.

Although Hamlet believes that the ghost really is his father he is concerned that this information may be false. He decides that he is going to create a play where the actors will reenact the death of his father. As his uncle and new king watches the play Hamlet will spy and see his face. He believes that if he acts surprised then he really did kill the late king and the ghost really was the late Hamlet.

One of the main questions regarding the play that stuck with me throughout was whether Hamlet was actually crazy or just pretending to fool his family and friends.  A part of me thinks that he was just acting crazy in order to trick everyone. He wanted them to believe that he has lost his mind so that he could fool them. The events that Hamlet endured didn’t help the fact that he was mental unstable. The death of his father, the remarriage of his mother to his uncle and the odd behavior of his girlfriend Ophelia would make him fall into depression. I wonder how the play’s plot would change if Gertrude didn’t run off and marry Hamlets uncle right away. Would Hamlet ever have found out the Claudius killed his father? Would King Hamlet have ever come to young Hamlet to tell the story?
