and control she seeks then fear will. She puts fear in the patients through all of these methods, but the thought of going to the Disturbed shakes even McMurphy. The Disturbed is where they will receive electro-shock therapy and lobotomies. The patient reaction is as expected. They do not step out of line in fear of any consequences. The patients are numbly going throughout life, not a single ounce of joy or laughter. That is until McMurphy comes to the institute and contradicts everything Ratched has worked for. However, the patients doubt him at first. Unable to see how one man will change their livelihood that they have known for so long is close to impossible for them to process. They cannot phantom how he will be able to change their situation when they know the consequences and know how it can break a man. In the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest it is not sure who is really insane, Ratched or the patients. Is Ratched insane, the one who goes through over-extravagant lengths for control over the patients. She, who manipulates them against each other and cause them to constantly be on guard. Ratched, who is supposed to help improve the patients so they can get out of the asylum is actually making them worse. Or are the patients insane for having problems and not being able to function in regular day lifestyle? Even the nurse from Disturbed says that she’s sick as well as all the single Army nurses and thinks they should be fired (Kesey, 1962, pg 278). The fact that…
Today though, the disturbed feelings come from the fact that Torvald treats Nora like a slave and with lack of any kind respect. He commands her to carry out his every wish and tells her what she can and cannot do. If someone is in a relationship like that during today’s time we wonder what in the world they are still doing with that person. We believe no woman should have to submit to a man beyond her will. This to us is viewed as slavery. Now we see man and woman to be equal, although, it…
It started out unexpectedly. The storm racing across the battlefield. The crash of thunder filled the atmosphere with rage. Fog spurred over the plains. The landscape ahead invisible to the naked eye. The sky was engulfed with hopes and prayers of the soldiers that inhabited the wasteland below. Rain fell like pellets soaking everything it could reach. My clothes hung limply off my body, dripping with the water that was flowing from the grey stained sky. The mud that was once hard turned into…
The sheer eeriness of an empty hospital room haunts me. It creates a vivid picture of sadness, fear, but most of all: Love. Room 206 was a room held close to my heart, it was my home for a month, it was also a grave for a loved one. This grave however would be the birthplace of a faith based on love, a love so strong it would never fail me. We all have loved ones, people in our lives who we see as invincible. My invincible person was my uncle Efrain. This was a man who always welcomed me with…

Tattered By Divorce I walked down the hall looking around at my house. It was still slightly dark outside only being 6am. The scent of coffee still lingered in the kitchen from even earlier that morning when my dad left for work. I had the last cup of the warm delicious coffee on my way to the office. I slowly made my way down the stairs that creaked with each step being careful not to wake anyone. I sat down at the old dusty computer desk to print my homework for school. I turned on the…
