Kidnap Catastrophe
Logan O’Brien snuck into the local hospital. It was nothing special, old roof and long hallways that needed a new paint job, but it would help Logan get what he needed. Most of the hospital was full of people sick with the flu, but that was not the reason he was here. He was here to get medicine for his little brother, Newt, who had a deadly disease that caused him to see his worst nightmares.
Logan needed the medicine, so every Thursday he would sneak into the hospital to get the insulin Newt needed. It was, infact, the only insulin in the whole kingdom of Athens, and it was not needed a lot, so it was not produced as much as most medicines. That’s why he did this, stole from the local hospital, he tried to get the medicine to save his step-brother. Logan kept thinking

He stayed there though, in the corner behind the boxes. He was trying to process the information he had just heard. “This can’t be happening,” Logan thought to himself as he stood up and started walking towards the door. “I have to tell Mom.” Before he left, he grabbed two more bottles of insulin. He finally reached the doors of the hospital and he left. When out of the sight of everyone, he took off the guard’s uniform, revealing his own clothes. A plain white t-shirt and blue shorts. He hid the uniform in a nearby ditch and he sprinted towards his mother’s house.
When he arrived to his mother’s house, an old log cabin, he slung the door open and ran into the living room. She wasn’t there, so he checked in the kitchen, and there his mother was with a knife in her hands aiming it at Logan’s chest. When she saw it was just her son, Mrs. Nightshade put the knife down. “Logan you scared- What’s wrong?” she asked noticing the sad look in his eyes. “I have something important to tell you,” he told his mother, dreading telling his mother the horrific news and leaving her with another burden on her
William, Rachel’s three year old son is crying standing over her as she is slowly regaining consciousness. Her boyfriend, Daniel, was gone; their bedroom door was left cracked open and Rachel was on the couch in their room. Pained around her neck from where he choked her, she tries to wrap her head around how she got to this point. Why does Daniel hate her? What did she do this time? Can she, should she, just leave with William? Rachel realizes she has to get out of the house before Daniel gets back. When she arrives at her mother’s house, her mom is alarmed. Rachel has bruises around her neck and marks around her hairline. Rachel’s mother tells her “You come here every week and you go back to that monster every week. I see these bruises but you must not feel they are a problem since you keep going back to him.” Rachel’s mom walks out of the room frustrated.
As Chay got near the front doors of the hospital he jumped off his bike, ran through the doors, down the hallway to the glass windows where he had last seen his mother. Chay looked through the glass window, but he couldn’t see her, so he ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked from the
After leaving the hellish work farm where he serving his prison sentence, McMurphy arrives at the ward, which is exponentially more dull and drab in comparison. The impact of his arrival at the ward is seen instantly. The enthusiasm and energy he brings to the ward is so uncharacteristic, that even some of the Chronics, who are longstanding patients that have become “machines with flaws inside that can’t be repaired,” show some life (Kesey 10). In his typical westernized fashion, McMurphy arrives at the hospital with the aura of “a frontier
Throughout the novel, he is also shown to be caring for the other patients in the ward. He wishes them to stop being fearful, wanting them to take a stance for themselves and rebel against the ones oppressing them. This attitude dedicated to helping his fellow inmates is shown as early as the beginning, where McMurphy does his best to try and rile a laugh from the other patients who have had the laughs chased out of them years ago. One of the older patients, Harding, tries to explain how they are all rabbits in this world, how they must submit to the wolves for they have no power to stand up against them. However, McMurphy violently rejects this idea, telling him, “You’re no damned rabbit!” (58). McMurphy constantly tries to convince the other patients to stand up for themselves. This becomes most prominent near the end of the novel. After the suicide of a fellow inmate, McMurphy acts and attempts to strangle the nurse, knowing that by doing so will result in repercussions for him. As Bromden watches, he thinks, “We couldn’t stop him because we were the ones making him do it...it was our need that was making him push himself slowly up from sitting...it was us that had been making him go on for weeks” (274-275). Bromden realizes that the way McMurphy was acting was primarily for their sake, for the sake of all the other inmates who looked towards McMurphy as a sign of
McMurphy teases her, embarrasses her, and doesn't follow her strict, tedious rules. The two are constantly fighting and competing for power over the ward like wild animals defending their territory, "…the fight could go on as long as she wanted, till he made a mistake or till he just gave out, or until she could come up with some new tactic that would put her back on top in everybody's eyes." (Kesey 205). By agitating the nurse he gets the upper-hand and annoys her to no end. She tries to conceal her frustration but in bursts of anger it is revealed, such as when she is bandaging McMurphy's hand after he punched it through the glass, "By the way she jerked the adhesive tight as she could, showing her remote patience wasn't what it used to be." (Kesey 207). The breaking of the glass by McMurphy symbolizes his control over the nurse; once the glass is broken the nurse’s power is demolished. As the Nurse becomes more frustrated McMurphy gains more and more power. With this power he able to become the "leader" of the ward. The other patients begin to glorify McMurphy like a god, following him around like disciples. They become loyal to him because he is able to gain control over Nurse Ratched-something they could never do. Don't be misled, McMurphy doesn't have a care in the world for the welfare of the patients, all he wants is to have privilege
Many of the patients really do not know if they can 100% trust McMurphy because he is very ignorant and is worried about himself more than the others. The only thing McMurphy worries about is the fact that he is stuck within the ward and can't even leave if he choses to. One event that builds up to the climax is when McMurphy decides to escape and he decides to jump the barbed wire fence and enters on the patient's bus and decides to take them on a fishing trip and gets in trouble when they all return. The main character of this story would be McMurphy because he is 3the most sane character in the story, and he has the ability and willingness to escape the ward. McMurphy is very selfish, ignorant and controlling.
In “Logan’s run”, Logan 3 is a 26- year old that is sent on a mission to find and destroy the “sanctuary”. He travels with Jessica and what they find is not a sanctuary but, a world that they have never seen and an old man that
Throughout McMurphy’s stay at the hospital, one of his only goals was to take Nurse Ratched off of her throne. He didn’t like the way she ran the hospital, and he was the only one to do something about it. He brought together
When McMurphy finds out that he is one of two patients that are involuntarily committed to the hospital, it makes him realize that he alone is fighting for his freedom, and the others have been repressed by Ratched to the point of being afraid to rebel against her or simply leave. McMurphy fights until the end to free these men of their emasculation even if it
“He is keeping me from Lexi,” Logan said, pouting, almost like a child who wasn’t allowed to play with a certain toy. He wanted to be with his mate and this stupid bear was getting in the way. He had kept him from his mate for three months. If it hadn’t been for him, he probably would have been enjoying a nice evening with his mate right now. Instead, he was outside on the streets fighting a bear just to say a few words to her. It wasn’t
It was a hot June day. Everyone was dressed in black except me, who decided to wear a blue dress, Logan's favorite color. The room itself was full of blue: blue flowers, blue ribbons, and a blue casket. The room was full of people comforting each other and others sobbing in grief. The room smelt with the scent of the gifted flowers. It was the last day I’d ever get to look at my big brother again. Logan was 15 when he decided to take his life in 2013.
Logan scrambled to fish his phone out of his pocket. He prayed to see Lexi’s name on the caller ID. He would beg and grovel if he needed to; he needed to get her back. He couldn’t live without her. He looked at the screen and frowned in disappointment. It was just Noah, but maybe he could help. Logan quickly picked up the phone.
Logan, a struggling singer and recovering meth addict fresh out of rehab, has no idea she's destined to change the world. She only wants to survive.

Jazz thrashed against her mother as Jack pulled Danny towards the kitchen where all the weapons were. My parents are actually trying to hurt my brother, she thought hopelessly. How did it come to this? Why is our family so irreparably damaged and broken?
“Well let's see if we can clean him up then.” They quickly went to work. His back had scars all along it. You would have thought he got them from the rocks, but it hadn’t been long enough. Nobody normal scarred in an hour. They changed his sheets,cleaned the blood off his back, and got him into another bed so the one they had used could be used on other injured. She watched the boy, he had very light skin. If he had been in the sun he would be blindingly white.She chuckled a bit at the thought. She slowly remembered the look her father had given her when he saw the boy. It was new. Disappointment. It was a mix of disgust and anger.But, also sadness. She had always been just what her father wanted. Just what their little underground town needed. She had never seen it before.And she hated it. She wished she could go back and just leave the boy. She
