Over time his attitude isn't appreciated and is noted by the woman in charge ,Nurse Ratched, so she makes it her mission to break down this man no matter what it takes.

    As some people develop addictions to drugs, and not others, it’s interesting to think about why. Robinson and Berridge go into many complex neurological explanations for this issue, mainly involving animals, but that can, however, carry over into humans. Why certain people can start taking an addictive drug and stop when they so choose, and why others cannot, is interesting to think about. As no two people are the same, there’s obviously not a single, distinctive way to determine a definite cause. It is interesting that both negative and positive reinforcement had been considered as possible descriptions for drug addictions, as they would appear to be opposites.…

    Cheswick was the first of the patients that stood up with McMurphy, while the others stay inconspicuous. “We want something done about it, ain’t that right Mack?” (Kesey, 172) McMurphy was the scapegoat of the ward. His empowering aura boosted Cheswick off his hind horse, and got him to stand up against Nurse Ratched, as he shouted: “I want something done!…

    Kesey creates this rebellion and these battles to exemplify how the only way to overcome the power of authority, is to fight back against it. McMurphy is seen as a hero because of his rebellious way of living in the ward, which is a true testament to his sacrifice and ambition. After McMurphy is finally defeated by the nurses, and dies, Nurse Ratched tries “to get her ward back into shape, but it (is) difficult with McMurphy’s presence still tromping down the halls and laughing out loud” (Kesey, 321). Even though he eventually dies, McMurphy is not forgotten amongst the fellow patients, and amongst the nurses who are forever wounded by his bravery. Kesey creates the Christ-figure character to show that mentally ill patients are in need of a savior, and he makes allusions to hell to show the serious problem in mental wards, which he experienced first hand in his personal…

    In the prompt, Krakauer is explaining to the reader that the actions of McCandless are an extreme version of every teenagers behavior. Throughout the story McCandless is described as different, the prompt shown is but a summarization of what he wants people to think of McCandless. The majority of the descriptions on McCandless as a person came from chapter eleven, where his family and friends described him. McCandless is described as fearless from his father saying,“Chris was fearless even when he was little." From that I think that McCandless is different compared to other children his age.…

    In the research paper by Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin, the scientists claimed that certain traits were not shaped by natural selection for specific functions but instead were byproducts of natural selection. Gould and Lewontin example of the spandrels was to show that the spandrels would have form regardless when arches are placed next to each other. Gould and Lewontin thought many scientists viewed natural selection as the only component to evolution and based characteristics solely on natural selection. From the paper, I thought it was interesting that Gould and Lewontin used The Origin of Species to show that Darwin believed that there were alternatives to natural selection and that it could be modified. In addition, when evolution…

    Oscar Wilde does an excellent job utilizing Heteronormativity and Homosocialality to portray masculinity throughout his book, The Picture of Dorian Gray. Heteronormativity is the idea that heterosexuality is the only established sexual orientation. While, Homosocialality focuses more on the idea that men can bond with men without being labeled homosexual. The three main characters, Basil, Lord Henry and Dorian, experience many situations that illustrate these two theories. There is also an erotic triangle that links the two enemies, Basil and Lord Henry, to a romance which is Dorian.…

    Forks over Knives is effective in using scare tactics to show the harmful effects that consuming meat and dairy products has on the body, but offers the opposition a very small opportunity to defend and support their own case.

That number is absolutely mind boggling, and demonstrates that the state of American health is concerning. This extra weight can contribute to numerous different diseases in children and adults, and it also might lead to early death in some cases.…

    As the book progresses, it is evident that he has set this selfishness aside to act on the behalf of the other patients as he sees their restoration of manhood to be more of a priority. This action is not the action of a person who suffers from “madness”. Even the Big Nurse realizes her inability to control him and understands that he is not seriously deranged. Despite this fact, she remains devious in her plans to force him to submit to her will. It is therefore an interesting side note throughout the novel plot to observe her delusional and eccentric behavior to force the submission.…

    As McMurphy is introduced into the hospital, he recognizes this, which causes him to lash out at Nurse Ratched and defy her demands. It is never explicitly shown how much time the film covers from beginning to end, but it is apparent that the patients within the hospital are not getting better, and are possibly getting worse. It can be argued that one of the main reasons due to them not recovering is an unhealthy relationship between the nurses and their patients, especially between Nurse Ratched and the patients. Within mental hospitals, patients have a group of professionals that contribute to their treatment. However, nurses are one of the most involved professionals with the patients because they are tending to them so…
