One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest: Reading Response 6

141-166

When it is time for the World Series the men all start to rebel against Nurse Ratched and her rule against watching it. I think it was important for all of them to do this, it went against Nurse Ratched and in a way stood up to her. Although they might have looked crazy doing it, they still showed her at that point that they should have a say in what happens around the ward. I am surprised that Nurse Ratched, during the meeting, kind of stands up for McMurphy, she disagrees on sending him to the disturbed ward, but maybe that is just so she can torture and pick him apart more. I’m glad that McMurphy can make the men happy and laugh, it helps them to get through the day with tough Nurse Ratched. Bromden seems to want to leave more than anything, and he envies McMurphy’s ability to keep true to himself and not let the people in the ward get to him.
