Read ALL assigned sections of the text (skipping parts will leave you confused and with an incomplete understanding of the story)

View any resources that are provided on this Padlet (they are meant to help you)

Give me YOUR answers--don't rely on other sites to analyze the literature for you (you know who you are)

Ask questions frequently (this is a challenging book that will require more close reading for everyone in class)

Use your class time effectively (avoid playing games, watching unrelated videos, or texting as these activities will not guarantee your success in my classroom)

Change him to change up on the staff to cause them problems.

2) Do you think that she has logical reasons to worry about him and why/why not? Yes, because he isn't all there in the head and he could do anything .

3) How might the schedule in the mental hospital influence the amount of control that the staff can have over the patients? Depends who is working and how the take care of the patients. ]]> 2018-02-21 14:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770362 oehlehun https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770363 4) Write a summary (at least four sentences) to provide the four most important events that happen in the mental hospital from 6:45-10:50 each day. Six-forty-five the shavers buzz and the Acutes line up. Seven o'clock the mess hall opens and the order of lineup reverse. Seven-thirty they go back to the day room. Eight-thirty the ward door opens and two technicians trot in, smelling like grape wine. ]]> 2018-02-21 14:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770363 oehlehun https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770364 ***Write AT LEAST five sentences to answer the question below***

5) How does Ken Kesey's writing style influence your understanding of the plot?  It is in very great detail. It seems like you know every movement happening within the rooms. This helps the reader understand greatly. It helps to show what is going on around and in his situation. ]]> 2018-02-21 14:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770364 oehlehun https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770365 You will listen to chapters 1-3 today]]> 2018-02-21 14:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770365 oehlehun https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770367 1) What do you imagine goes on in the daily life of a mental hospital patient, especially during the 1960's? I think they think on why they are there and who all these people are trying to help them

2) How do you think a long-term patient would view his or her time spent on the ward? If they are ever gonna get out of there or they just call it their home

3) What do you imagine the life of an orderly or nurse would be like on an average day in a mental hospital, especially during the 1960's? Pretty hard to see everyone struggling.

4) In general, how would a mental hospital patient's life be different from a person that is not in an institution? In the place they would be babied and well takin care of, if they are out of it they would be more on their own . ]]> 2018-02-21 14:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770367 oehlehun https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770368 5) Which of the following characters will you focus on for this assignment: Chief Bromden, the Big Nurse aka Nurse Ratched, or McMurphy? McMurphy

6) Provide a quote that reveals something that we learn about your chosen character (i.e. appearance, personality, backstory, etc.). Make sure that you include quotation marks, the author's last name, and the page #. "My name is McMurphy, buddies, R. P. McMurphy, and I'm a gambling fool." (Kesey 12)

7)  Provide a second quote that reveals something that we learn about your chosen character (i.e. appearance, personality, backstory, etc.). Make sure that you include quotation marks, the author's last name, and the page #. "Hand, how do you suppose that old fellow knew all the evil you been into?" (Kesey 23)

8)  Provide a third quote that reveals something that we learn about your chosen character (i.e. appearance, personality, backstory, etc.). Make sure that you include quotation marks, the author's last name, and the page #. "Well , what the hell, he can shake hands, can't he? Deef or whatever. By god, Chief, you may be big, but you shake my hand or I'll consider it an insult. And it's not a good idea to insult the new bull goose loony of the hospital." (Kesey 25)]]> 2018-02-21 14:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770368 oehlehun https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770369 ***Write AT LEAST five-sentence paragraphs for each question below***

9) What are your first impressions of your chosen character? I have many impressions of McMurphy. The guy seems to seek out attention to me. He says he is crazy but would a crazy guy actually keep saying he is crazy? Also, he acts like he owns the place. Which I mean is good, but can also be bad if guys start to not like it.

10) Why is it important that this character is described in such great detail at the start of the novel? It is very important to described this character. A lot of people wouldn't understand his position or condition. So, it is good for the author to describe in such detail. It will help the reader understand more on what is going on or happening. ]]> 2018-02-21 14:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oehlehun/8inn7vtzfjjg/wish/233770369
