One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Part III)

The Doctors decided to reward McMurphy for his bad ways by taking him on a fishing trip along with a few other patients. Bromdon really would like to go on the trip but doesn't want to blow his cover! he remember at the moment why he sop speaking when he was young no one would really listen to him either so if no one listens to you when you talk and they are all you have around to talk to why continue to talk. Since Ratched could not forbid the trip she did little things to try to scare them from wanting to in to the water let a alone on the boat. McMurphy figures Bromden out because he was getting too comfortable and slipping but it was no big deal by doing so he was able to be signed up for the fishing trip! during the trip they catch fish and drink beer almost get arrested but find a way out of that and enjoys the rest of their night McMurphy has moment while riding home passing an old neighborhood.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Part II)

Nurse Ratched has lose control.. this is not a good look for her status or her period. if she shows weakness she might not ever gain control back ever again. All she is receiving is piercings stares from the patients as she sits behind her glass were she usually looks out among them. Chief Bromden almost lost his cool. During a voting process Bromden actually voted him not "Hearing a word" or being able to put full sentences together to part in a vote! He became shook! not knowing if he had been found out if he should still continue to clean if they would even want him to clean, or if they even paid attention to him because they usually don't. He actually had no choice but to go back and clean and she how people would react to him he was nervous and act cautious but no major changes. Ratched decided to punish the patients because of lack of cleaning when no one budge or utter an "I'm Sorry" she decided to take the second game room away.. she has something against McMurphy and would do just about anything to prove to him she is bigger and badder! McMurphy no chump he accidentally punches through the glasses that Ratched sits behind blankly stating i forgot it was even there.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Part I)

Part one is where we learned about the characters in the psychiatric ward. The narrator of the story is Chief Bromden, also know as Chief Broom because he sweeps the halls. People often over look him and make him do thing just because they know he will.. basically using him. He act as thought he's deaf and dumb so that he can ear hustle on meeting while he cleans. Nurse Ratched is in charge of the psych ward Chief Bromden refers to her as "the BIG nurse" for one her bosoms are extremely big but she tries to to hid her female flaws under her uniform maybe she believes females aren't strong enough or the extra baggage is her down fall. Nurse Ratched has something about that make those want to listen when she talks but moves out the way when she walking toward you. She also has a way with her patients to keep them in line and find out everything there is to know. A new patient arrives who seems like big trouble. Randle McMurphy a red head cocky looking man. Sizing up the day room you notice two different types of people Acutes, who fixable and the Chronics, who are not so fixable. Some might walk into the hospital with a fixable case but as time goes on their minds tend to wonder.

Response to Lantern Theater performance of Hamlet

First going into the play I didn't know how they would pull of such a thing because I had saw part of a filmed version and a lot that happened would be hard to rein act on a stage in front of a live audience.. such as the ghost appearance and the uncle's confessional with Hamlet pondering the thought of killing him. I just thought it would have been hard but as I watch I saw someone had a very creative mind and everything worked out well. it followed the lines in the book just as the movie we watch did so i didn't become lost. When you have no idea what going on you begin to not pay anymore attention and does off but this performance of Hamlet kept me up and entertained i like how the actors interfered with the audience and I like how close we were to the stage. it was also nice how they use on setting the who play and how a few thing here and there and some lighting really made a difference.

Hamlet (Act II)

Act II I believe I could call it my favorite part of the play.. it was creative and very well planned out Hamlet needed to know for that his uncle really killed his dad before he could take revenge out on him. So he rein acts the who murder from what he received him his fathers ghost in front of an audience including his stepfather he tells his good friend who has never doubted him to keep a close eye on the King which he had no problem doing so. The King was so taken away that he interrupted the play and left causing Hamlet to know the truth. Now a days you can't go by expression and reactions alone you need hardcore evidence and a spirit just wouldn't cut it. It was nice to see Hamlet wasn't just acting crazy to put on a show but to have a very understandable cause. Hamlet was hip to everything from his sellout friends to the love of his life slipping away yo his in denial mother and his scumbag uncle. Its sometime good to seat back and let everyone think your slower than the rest or crazier so you can just seat back relax and take everything in because no one will pay you any mind because your not worth their attention. The best part is once you snap out of it you become a threat and very powerful causing everyone to listen and start to see how wrong they are and how they are not living their life right at all hopefully causing people to change the way they live so not only do you figure out what you need to know you change lives in the process.. killing two birds with one stone?

Hamlet (Act I)

Hamlet captured you from the first page until the last page, nothing worth knowing came to you as a surprise. the death of his father was reviled and also who had done such a thing. Hamlet was so taken back that he began to slip into a craze state because of how messed up the world was around him. His father was killed by his uncle whom his mother married. To top it off she remarried within at least a month. I believe Hamlet was hurt let alone upset and he didn't know how to prove to anyone that his uncle was to blamed so he led everyone to believe he was going crazy or already crazy. Hamlet had great ideas but how do u come back from that state how will others truly trust you again and take you serious once you return. His idea worked perfectly because it was believable and no one really knew his motive as to the whole thought. The play is rather long but it moves quite well when put together and flows straight forward not really any cliff hangers.

Response to Orwell

In order to respond to Orwell, I would put myself in the position on someone becoming erased or a new person, writing a letter to Big Brother in-order to make him change his mind.

Dear Big Brother,
I come to you with much respect and obedience, as you may already know I have been trying to live my life and do as a please despite your brilliant rules and regulations. Firstly I would like to let you know the thought of over-throwing your system or even changing your system never crossed my mind. I was just immature and wasn't thinking right when I decided to engage in that relationship. Many people tried to warn me I wouldn't get away with it, and yes I tried to out think you but never anything more.

If I was giving a second chance I would do good by you and, you would forget i was ever in this predicament. I would be a new person completely, I would follow every single rule without hesitation. I know your probably thinking why should you believe me or trust me, but you know my every thought my every move and my every emotions. There would be nothing I would be able to get by you and I wouldn't even try to put anything by you.

Once again i come to you in pity to beg for my life "I love Big Brother" and I want to live by your rules and in your community.

Sincerely ,
Someone you keep around.
