In his mental institute no one has been allowed to leave and they are confined within the rigid walls of their prison with Nurse Ratched being the authoritative person. McMurphy feels the fishing trip is necessary as it allows the men and women to be prepared for the dangers of sea. This indirectly hints that he wants to prepare them for the real world, in the middle of the sea where they have danger lurking in all open corners and they had to fend for themselves. In part 4, the Big Nurse smiles and talks about McMurphy, “Crazy like a fox… I believe that is what you’re trying to say about Mr. McMurphy.” This is during the scene in which all the individuals in the mental asylum gather together and tell each other funny stories and that’s when they ask what makes McMurphy tick. Nurse Ratched then elaborates by stating that McMurphy isn’t doing anything for anybody until he’s getting something out of it. Nurse Ratched then explains how much money his friends in the institute have lost because of his gambling. In addition, he’s able to go to the fishing trip without spending any money. Thus, Nurse Ratched proves that McMurphy emobodies the characteristic of a trickster,

The film uses contrastive organizing to present various viewpoints on the life of Sarah’s mother, Diane, through interviews.

She remains investigative and unsentimental. The Stories We Tell

(A) During the encoding face of memory these presentations of products in the movie would only be briefly stored in your short term memory, therefore when you see these images in the store they feel familiar but you cannot recall or fully recognize where the products have been seen before, they just have a feeling of familiarity. Because you didn’t “review” the products that you used in the movie they would not be stored in your long term memory so you forget where you have seen them. This happens because source confusion is more likely to occur the more time passes. Attribution would be involved in your desire to purchase this product because the product feels familiar to you but you cannot fully remember why, tying together cause and effect

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.
