30 11 2006In the book there are many evil and twisted people, that seem hidden. McMurphy almost seems like a scum of society in the book. Does nothing good, just gets in troble where ever he goes, and always looking for the esay way out. He commits him self to a mental hospitol were he think life will be good. Once he gets in his life will change. I think that the hospitol does more harm then good. The men that are in there need help and the hospitol does try to help but there are parts in the book where there is some serious mental abuse. When McMurphy gets a party going in side the hospitol and they find one of the men with a hooker, the man was trying to confess. He was speaking clear and seemed like he may not need to be in the hospitol. When the Head nurse brings up his mom he crumbles. It is clear that there staff of the hospitol no the weakness of the patients and will use it agaisnt them when they want to. it drove that man to kill him self. That is very clear to me that the hospitol really doesnt know what they are doing at all. Assuming that all the people in that hospitol are there for help, why do some many of they get hurt? It doesnt seem like really any of them have any progress. The only one that i can see that was help was Chef and his help came from McMurphy. I think the hospitol was more of a prison than it was to help people. When people are sleeping they get tied down. they dont even do that in prison. I completly disagree with the people being in the hospitol. there were many curel acts of mental and physical torture, that no one, even at that era should go though. they try to say the shock therapy help, HA yea it helped make the people a vegitable. If making them a zombie helps them get of there mental issuse then yea, the hospitol helped people, but i dont think there would be a large line to get in that place if everyone know what really happend in there
