McMurphy is receiving trials of electroshock therapy and lobotomy. Each time he undergoes EST, he seems to be fine, even growing more confident. Nurse notices this and decides to take action by holding a small group meeting, saying that since the EST isn’t working for McMurphy, perhaps they should “consider an operation” (293). In truth, she is implying lobotomy, however, McMurphy beats her to the punchline and references castration. Lobotomy is the surgical procedure of cutting the lobes of the brain. This often makes a patient very passive, unable to concentrate, and have a decrease in emotional response. In comparison, castration does the same. Cutting off a male’s reproductive organ will deprive them of their physiological vitality. In the context of the the book, it only makes sense that the Nurse wants to bring up this option, since the EST doesn’t seem successful.The motif of castration is utilized as a means to take away the patients’ manhood and deprive them of their

When the two station attendants try to exploit the men, McMurphy helps them gain the upper hand by posing as criminally insane (Fick). Even though the patients “become men”, adult sexuality is conspicuously absent from the novel. It is mainly the men’s cause to “remain boys on their own terms” (Fick par. 8). McMurphy’s women are boys’ companions. Candy and Sandy are good bad girls. “McMurphy’s sexuality complements a personal consistency that obliterates the distinction between past and present. Returning from the fishing trip, for example, he stops by his childhood house and tells the men of his own sexual initiation” (Fick par. 9).

“When he had finally made it to the car and got in, with tears of frustration and anger running down his cheeks, she had said gaily to her friend, “Sissy! He’s a sissy from the ground up. Just like his father!” ” (Chapter 6 Pg. 38

I feel that i relate most to W.Michael Blumenthal.In the first place we both were born in different parts of the world. He was born in Germany while i was born in Monrovia, Liberia, Although we were raised in different countries we both grew up seeing evil acts of human and violent acts among people. As Michael explained in his biographies which states "Blumenthal and his sister were able to come to the US and he worked his way through school", I find this to be very important and it also goes back to my own life story after the war had broken out in Monrovia, we were also stuck there for a while until my father was able to raise enough money to send for my mom, older sister and myself which was after the war. Equally important we both were

Isn’t it ironic? In Biddeford in 2010 Bobby Silcott’s Maine Pet Oxygen Masks supplied masks and trained Biddeford/ Saco Fire and Rescue to use the masks. Two weeks later, Bobby got a note that said,

Tyree Guyton is the person who created the project in 1986, the reason he wanted to start the project is because of how the neighborhood he grew up in was decaying horribly and there was also many crimes that occurred in the area which made it a really bleak place to live. He decided that the colors and arts would bring life to the neighborhood. He hopes that people would become more creative and create a sense of community. It is a current and ongoing project residing in Detroit, Michigan. There are quite many, many materials that were used to create the artworks in the project; houses, cars, common furniture, paintings, toys, and more.

Steve Smith idolised Brad Fittler as a Rugby League loving kid, and even wears the Sydney Roosters socks when he bats for Australia in One Day Internationals.

Shortly after the Second World War, Max, a transplanted American, visits an English pawn shop to sell his trumpet. The shopkeeper recognizes the tune Max plays as one on a wax master of an unreleased recording, discovered and restored from shards found in a piano salvaged from a cruise ship turned hospital ship, now slated for demolition. This chance discovery prompts a story from Max, which he relates both to the shopkeeper and later to the official responsible for the doomed vessel, for Max is a born storyteller. Though now down on his luck and disillusioned by his wartime experiences, the New Orleans-born Max was once an enthusiastic and gifted young jazz musician, whose longest gig was several years with the house band aboard the Virginian,

The poems, some of them in prose, in this taut and stunning book, dart by like small desert animals. Billy is in charge here, all the way, speaking with the cool precision of an assassin, his images coming rapid and accurate as bullets, taking the measure of friends and enemies, hawks circling, horses straining, women loved and men murdered. Billy, loving Miss Angela Dickinson, who "leans back waving feet at me/catching me like a butterfly/in the shaved legs in her Tucson room"; Billy, appraising Mr. Pat Garrett, who "became frightened of flowers because they grew so slowly that he couldn't tell what they planned to do." Billy, Mr. William Bonney to you, is in control but Ondaatje alternates his voice with that of others who knew him and the

Jammie Burks created her painting Sinking in 2015 using acrylic and oil on canvas. The painting is a diptych which is mounted on a wood panel. As opposed to most diptychs which are evenly divided from the middle, the right side of this one compromises approximately 80 percent of the overall size of the painting. All together the work is 48 by 48 inches. Just as the title suggests, the subject of the painting is a woman who seems to be sinking. We seem to be looking from outside the water down at the woman.

I want to know exactly what went through your head when you… when you… drown her.” I hadn’t said those words since the day the police first questioned me. There was little evidence to prove that I was guilty, but it was my mistake of picking up her blue, lifeless body and holding her tight to my chest. When the police came barging into our house I was the one clutching her so tightly it took 3 men to pry her from me, while Toby stood afar pretending to be horrified. This trial was a game of who was more credible: a woman who has been in and out of mental institutions for supposed false accusations of domestic violence, noncompliance with her husband, anxiety, severe OCD, depression, and the occasional panic attack. Or the man who is a doctor, has received numerous accolades for his achievements, met the president, and has no recorded files of mental health issues. He’s the obvious winner, and even without the background information, men are always deemed superior over women, without question.
