In tonights reading McMurphy asked Chief if he could move the control panel. I thought this was big because what McMurphy asked Chief to do, he did. Chief was able to move the control panel, which soon earned McMurphy money. McMurphy seems to be doing everything in his best interest, and even though he was nice to take some of the patients on a fishing trip, I'm starting to think that what he's doing is like a dictatorship. He's almost in complete control of the other patients. The Nurse tries to convince the other patients that McMurphy is doing things in his best interest, but the patients disagree.
Now that McMurphy knows that Chief will listen to him, I think he'll start asking him to do more risky things. McMurphy and Chief have now gotten into a fight with one of the aides, which is more risky. McMurphy has had an affect on Chief. However, Chief seems to be doing things that could get him into trouble. Will Chief continue doing what McMurphy asks him to do? Will they continue to be friends? It seems like McMurphy has only brought on bad towards Chief other than he's gotten him to talk and react.
I think that he does and will always have a slight alternative motive behind his actions but lately theyve been pretty genuine. He took a big risk in taking the patients on the fishing trip and he's giving Chief Bromden more and more courage each day.
ReplyDeleteChief really stepped out of his comfort zone when he jumped into the fight with the staff. As a result he was sent to the disturbed with McMurphy. The disturbed is usually talked down upon among the patients and the staff. I wonder if Bromden will continue to do risky things even if he knows he could be sent to the disturbed. Do you think he will continue to step out of his comfort zone even if he knows there will be such consequences?
