part 2 Nest

Now the book is getting better in part 2. In part two the characters start to produce more. We see the patients start to ignore the Nurse so they can get what they want. However most of them are still scared of her and her power to keep them there as long as she wants which sucks for them. The nurse does and says whatever she wants McMurphy because she sees the fear of her in him. This is due to the fact that he has such a strong effect on the other patients, but the Nurse has the final say in how long he stays. This is why all the others fear the nurse. They fear her power because all it takes is an order from her and she can make the patient’s life a living misery for as long as she wants. McMurphy continues to try to push the restrictions and see how far he can get. It will be exciting to see if the Nurse breaks down completely or if McMurphy's actions will collapse after time. He is going to take all he can before being stopped or stopping due to satisfaction. I wonder who will be the first to give in?????

He does take medicine to help his illness. In the beginning of part one he tells about all the adventures that are happened in the mental hospital. The fog symbolizes the weakness of the patients in the mental hospital. Chief Bromden believes the he is weak when really he is very strong. Harding tells McMurphy that the Big Nurse is not helping them and she is treating them like they are young kids. The therapy sessions are not helping them they are just making things worse. McMurphy finally is able to show what is really going on.

Response to the Lantern Theater

I thought the play was really good. I was impressed and stayed up the whole time! The actors were excellent and really did a wonderful job playing there characters. I really enjoyed how the interacted with the audience not with words but with there actions. The stage was very created and different. I never seen a play in a theater like that. I really understand Hamlet better after seeing the play. I was impressed with how they memorized all those lines and I didn't see or hear not one error in the entire play. That was amazing and is a wonderful talent. I know that took a lot of practice and hard work and I applaud everyone that played a part in making the play one to remember.

Hamlet II

In Act II I noticed how Shakespeare built-in a play inside his play that shares a similar plot with Hamlet. This played a major part in understanding the play. When he sees the player’s performance and the play that they are doing he can’t help but to notice that it directly connects to his situation. He is unwell in the sense that he watches this actor have the courage to do what is right and he is unable to do what is right. Hamlet shouldn't have let the actor get to him because he is only acting, not purposely of course. If he was in Hamlet's situation he would probably do the same thing and keep the anger inside. The play was only helpful to show Hamlet the right way to go. He came up with a plan to help gain revenge on his evil uncle. He really just needs proof if his uncle really killed his father.

Hamlet I

I already kind of had a little history about Hamlet, but really reading it helped me understand why he was out his damn mind! For one his dad his dead, for two his own uncle killed his father, and three his mother and uncle got married!!! Now what person in their right mind can handle of that? Well I know I can’t. Hamlet was hurt and couldn’t take it no more and no one could really understand what the big deal was. He had no one to talk to about it because he couldn’t even believe it himself. His mother acted like it wasn’t a problem and that really made him go nuts. His uncle knew what he did was wrong but didn’t want to leave his new wife just because of what Hamlet thought or how he felt. This to me is just a nasty situation for both the uncle and mother. I believe that Hamlet has every right to be insane.

1984 Writing assigmnment!!!!

The doctrine O'Brien proclaims to Winston in the passage plays a role in both maintaining the system of oligarchical collectivism upon which INGSOC is based and in Winston’s ultimate fate at the close of the novel. In INGSOC everyone was most likely be known as insane or crazy. To control their power INGSOC would kill and replace them by people that love their Country and Party because they have been brain washed from birth. Kids was snitching on their parents and Parsons’ own daughter was the one who turned him in for talking in his sleep.

INGSOC mastered many methods to make people confess imagined crimes and to forget thoughts and memories of the past. INGSOC goals were to actually make you love INGSOC itself, in which O’Brien does to Winston. One method they use the most was torture. I believe that most of the people living under the rule of the Party are confused which is when its so easy for them to believe what the Party tells them. In regards to Winston’s confusing and his ultimate fate, I believe the case is different.

Poetry of coleridge and shelley

1. Kubla Khan is a poem of mixed feelings. I believe it celebrates imagination. According to the background info Coleridge was describing a dream until it was interrupted when he awoke. As the first stanza starts off Coleridge describes a "pleasure-dome" with a sacred river that runs "through caverns measureless to man." This seems to be a creative possibility of paradise. In the second stanza is where the poem ventures off in to an opposite negative direction as he says "then reached the caverns endless to man." Prophesying war leads me to believe his dream was interrupted and he awoke to reality, "with caves of ice." The caution of indulgence is revealed when Coleridge says "and all should cry, beware! beware!" Coleridge seems to be setting in a theme to draw the line between the imaginative mind and reality.

2. In Ozymandia, the narrator is obviously just narrating the story that he is discovering from the traveler. The traveler is like a messenger between the sculptor and the narrator. His main purpose is to describe the sculptor’s thoughts of the king’s personality which are hostility. Under the sculpture is a quote from King Ozymandias that says “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" it reflects his conceded personality and the irony of that statement since the statue is surrounded by nothing and it just sunken in to the sand. This represents King Ozymandias’ pride and how it backfired on him.

The Chimney Sweeper

1. I do agree with the editors of my textbook that Blake's poetry had the power to enact social change by appealing to the imagination of the reader. I say this because in both poems he talks like a child or in a child mind set to make the young readers predict and understand his thoughts and words. It seems like he writes this poem to those who are not wealthy as others and will not have the chance to read it because where they stand in life but they will most likely hear this poem somewhere or sometime in life. Back then it was like it is now, something like a recession to everyone no matter how rich or poor you was and for him to write about social change coming could of been a sarcastic joke to people because nothing never changed.

2. I think the editor included the Parliament transcript to explained how a worker from the past in that day and age would have acted and how they thought. Well it didn't effect my reading at all. I understand it and understand the saying it was trying to do and how it tried to effect the reader but it didn't convince me enough to be effected.
