He studied at the University of Oregon and then later at Stanford University. At one point he also traveled on a bus with a group called the Merry Pranksters, did some marijuana there, and wrote about it in some nonfiction books. Since marijuana was still illegal though, he fled to Mexico briefly, but came back and was sentenced to prison for a short amount of time. His most famous work is by far One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a novel (and later a film) which talks about sanity and mental health. It was inspired by when he was a paid volunteer to be a subject of an experiment, where he took a bunch of drugs and recorded the results. ]]> 2022-05-19 20:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/spoley/thisismypadlet/wish/2191973533 spoley https://padlet.com/spoley/thisismypadlet/wish/2197730146 The time period of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the 1960s, which is an era defined by the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This story takes place in the United States at the time, where all of these things were the big topics that you couldn't go anywhere without people talking about these things. And the setting was a mental institution from the same time. It makes a big impact on the sanity question because in this period of time, most mental institutions weren't really treating their patients too well, and by that I mean there was some torture involved.]]> 2022-05-24 13:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/spoley/thisismypadlet/wish/2197730146 spoley https://padlet.com/spoley/thisismypadlet/wish/2201090641 This is Self-portrait in a jerkin with right elbow by Egon Schiele. This painting specifically is a self portrait, but he also drew many portraits of the diseased in psychiatric hospitals as he was interested in mental illness. And Schiele never particularly had any really terrible mental health problems that were on the same level being labelled insane. You can see the deformity in this picture in the body, but also in the face where the eyes are looking different ways. The person looks very pale. This image appears very unsettling to whoever the viewer is because of these details as well as the color palette and expression in the face. The significant thing about this though, is that if this is a self portrait, then there must be some sort of insanity involved, but there's not. ]]> 2022-05-26 16:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/spoley/thisismypadlet/wish/2201090641
