One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest: Reading Response 11

Pages 263-275

The whole fishing trip was a good experience for the men who attended, it made them all feel more independent and they needed that. It is good that Nurse Ratched couldn’t stop them from going, and Dr. Spivey attending was a plus, because he could easily take control of any situation, and back them up on it. I think that Bromden’s opinion of McMurphy is slowly starting to change; he is catching on to his motives and reasoning for things. When they both try to help out George, they get into trouble, something bad is going to happen. When Bromden and McMurphy are brought to Disturbed they are warned that if they will confess what they did was wrong then they can go back to the ward instead of getting shock treatments. They both refuse to do so and stand their ground. After returning to the ward, McMurphy decides it will be his “going away party” soon, it is ridiculous, the way he sneaks the two girls and the booze into the ward that night.
