The Trickster

Monday, December 11th, 2006

I found the trickster to being in the story Funhouse. I would say taht it was the mouse. The mouse bothers the mother while the father and son just sit back and laugh. This causes the mom to leave and the father and son are confused about why she left. The mouse makes the mom realize she is not happy in her family and causes her to stand up for herself. However, in the end the mouse makes a change in the family for the better.

McMurphy

Monday, December 11th, 2006

He was not suffering from a mental disorder when he first came to the hospital. He came to the hospital because he didn’t like the farm he was working at. He wasn’t crazy because crazy people don’t know they are crazy and McMurphy said that he was.
He thought he would get released when he was ready but do to his bad temper he had to under go treatments and stay.
I think in the end we realize McMurphy might have been crazy all along. I think Nurse Ratched had a big part to lead up to half the stuff McMurphy did. I think he changed the patients for the better. However, made himself worse.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

Friday, December 8th, 2006

McMurphy changed alot of people in this book. The most changed patient in this book would be Chieft Bromden. Everyone would just ignore him thinking he was just deaf and dumb. However, McMurphy thought different. He would always talk to Chief and finally one day he broke his silence. Without McMurphy I don’t feel the Chief would have opened up.

Blood Wedding

Friday, December 8th, 2006

The way wee see love and marriage is viewed differently in Blood Wedding. It was not as acceptable to marry out of your social class as it is today. It seems very rare for someone to marry out of social class in this play.
The bridge and Leonardo seemed so in love in this play but their love could not overcome everyone else’s veiws. Money plays a huge part in this marriage and about two rich families coming together.
