Reading Pages 75-100
In this night of reading I found that the "policy" kept on being brought up by either McMurphy, The Big Nurse, or the "Black" boys. However, whenever McMurphy or the black boys brought it up, it seemed different. I got the feeling that it was more emphasized when mentioned in a sentence by them as opposed to the Nurse. When McMurphy brought it up, he kept on saying "goddamned policy" or something like is it against the ward policy? When the black boys said it, it seemed as if they didn't want to say it, and kind of wanted to help McMurphy break the policy. If the black boys were to help McMurphy break the policy with the rest of the patients, Acutes and Chronics, it would be much more interesting. Does anyone else think this?

I am kind of confused to what you are saying but i think you are trying to explain that there is some type of policy in the ward that McMurphy is trying to break and the black boys who are the nurses are also trying to help him. I don't really know what this policy is, but if its something McMurphy is trying to change it is probably something Nurse Ratched instilled. This might be interesting like you said, I am not sure that McMurphy is going to get his way with this one unless he gets everyone in the ward, besides Ratched ofcourse, on his side.
ReplyDeleteI too am a little confused about the point you are trying to make. Like what Issy said, I also think it is because of a certain policy that McMurphy is trying to change around to get it the way he wants it. McMurphy can be very manipulating to the other patients and even to Ratched sometimes. However, I do not think it is possible to "change" a policy that is already stabilized and get it the way that McMurphy would like it. The only way he would achieve this is if Ratched were to go on his side, which we all know would probably never be the case.
