Blog #2 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

In the novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, focuses mainly on the main character, Chief Bromden, and how he is becoming inside the Asylum. While the novel is explaining "the hospital, and her, and the guy," it's also telling the story of his own sanity. In the beginning of the novel, it describes how Bromden is bullied, paranoid, and is surrounded most of the time by a fog that he sees. And it represents how his mind it during his time in the Asylum and how he wants to be blended in with society not to be seen. To add on, McMurphy, who is a new patient, begins to help Bromden in a sort of way. McMurphy starts to take Bromden out of the fog he's been disclosing himself in. He tells Bromden that he knows he's faking being death, which Bromden was surprised and felt guilty for. And shows how people can help each other, to get them out of the situations they get into.

It connects to the world that they aren't living in. The outside world. Some people get stuck into sticky situations either if it's drugs, money problems, or family. The ones who you wouldn't guess would help you are the ones that  help you come together.
