Things were completely how the Big Nurse has plan it until McMurphy has entered the Mental Hospital. Once McMurphy came, he causes a big change out of order. He made fun of the black boys and upset the Big Nurse. He even causes the black boys to get in trouble with the Big Nurse by telling the nurse that he couldn't get dress because he didn't receive any clothes from the black boys.

McMurphy comes from the farm. He explain that he didn't want to live a life in the farm working hard each and everyday so he decided to find a way to get himself send into this place.

Writing in Response to Kesey (Some suggestions)

This book takes place in a mental hospital filled with people from a very young age to a very old age. Some were force to enter the mental hospital by certain strangers and others were being brought their by their family members such as their wife. Each of these people are there with a certain kind of mental illness.

The narrator of this story is Chief Broomden. He's being known as Chief Broomden because his job is to sweep up the place. He's half Indian and half American. Chief Broom is one of the Chronics. He's been there since the World War II. Everyone believes that he is mute and death.

Since everyone comes to a conclusion that he's death and mute, no one ever really pays him any attention. It is a benefit for Chief Broomden to be our narrator because he gets to listen to a lots of other people's conversation. He than started to share all the benefits that he has gathered about other patient there. Also, since he's the patient who stays there the longest, he can provide us with information that he have witness or experience himself.

Broomden describe how there are machines that shaves him everyday, the activities that he and other Chronics and Acutes does everyday at what time. He also describes what he saw happens to Harding, Ruckly, and other Chronics and Acutes that was being force by the big nurse and the three black boys to get an operation. One person operation was very successful according to the big nurse for they really listens to her.There are others who the three black boys and big nurse consider as their failure such as Ruckly. Instead of healing him, him end up being blind. He hated his wife for sending him into such a place.

The disadvantage for having Broomden as a narrator is that he cant really tell much about his life. Also, u can't tell how everyone would have interact with him if he were to commute and his social life. Will he be able to just be a by stander at some of these incident or will he be one of those that the big nurse will make an experience with.

An additional blog in response to the play

I didn't expect for the actors to dress in a more modern style of clothing. It's very interesting to see how each of the actors have their style of dressing. The King and Queen costume doesn't look very modern. Hamlet way of dressing looks pretty modern. His way of dressing is just like a gentlemen dressing up very formally. Ophelia costume is very modern. Her dress can be describe as a nowadays sun dress, nothing special about it.

From the way they act really surprise me. It was very different from the way I pictured. Hamlet was very energetic. He was swing on bars (very amazing and surprising), and very smiley. The Hamlet that I thought about should be very depress. The similarities between the actor and the one from what I think is that both of them are very good at making fun and insulting others.

Queen Gertrude in the play seems like a slut. The way how she unbutton her clothes to persuade King Claudius to end his conversation with Polonius and go to bed with her. My Gertrude was an upright queen. She shows royalty in her. She makes me feel as though she married King Claudius so that she could protect her son by staying as a queen. The only similarity is that Gertrude is afraid of her son craziness but still really loves him.

To me Ophelia has to be a slower talker. She shows all her royalty to her father without any attitude towards anyone especially her father. In the play, she talks really fast. She shows an attitude towards her father even though she agreed to stay away from Hamlet. When I was reading, I felt as though her father has persuade her that Hamlet wasn't a good guy for her but while watching the play, it felt as though she was being force to leave Hamlet more than to be persuaded to leave him.

Horatio is that only character that seem to stay the same. He doesn't talk much but he surely was a good friend to Hamlet. He was being pretty fair and quiet. He is the smartest character throughout the whole play.He stays out of the whole situation and just look in as a bystander most of the time unless Hamlet ask him to get involve.

Hamlet Act III, IV, V

In these few last Acts, Hamlet tries to find out the truth to his father’s death. When he found out that it was really his uncle who killed his father, he tries to revenge. Throughout the process, Hamlet directly killed Polonius, Laertes, Claudius, and indirectly killed Ophelia and Gertrude. The only person who knows the story that is still alive is Horatio, the one that’s left to send Fortinbra Hamlet’s message.
Even to the very end of the play, I still find that Hamlet didn’t deserve to die. He of course would have to pay a price for killing Polonius but he surely didn’t deserve to get killed. All Hamlet want was to be a good son and revenge for his father as he was being told by his father’s soul to do. This just show how much he loves his father and how much respect he have for him. He never meant to kill any of these people but Claudius. If it wasn’t for Claudius, King Hamlet wouldn’t have killed. Polonius wouldn’t have work for him therefore Hamlet wouldn’t have stabbed him by accident. If Ophelia didn’t listen and obey her dad in every way, then she wouldn’t have lost Hamlet’s love and her father. If Polonius wasn’t killed, then Laertes wouldn’t have been killed in the dual. Without the dual, King Claudius wouldn’t have attempt to put poison into Hamlet’s cup of wine which Gertrude wouldn’t have died.
