The Disturbed is where they will receive electro-shock therapy and lobotomies. The patient reaction is as expected. They do not step out of line in fear of any consequences. The patients are numbly going throughout life, not a single ounce of joy or laughter. That is until McMurphy comes to the institute and contradicts everything Ratched has worked for. However, the patients doubt him at first. Unable to see how one man will change their livelihood that they have known for so long is close to impossible for them to process. They cannot phantom how he will be able to change their situation when they know the consequences and know how it can break a man.

    It started out unexpectedly. The storm racing across the battlefield. The crash of thunder filled the atmosphere with rage. Fog spurred over the plains. The landscape ahead invisible to the naked eye. The sky was engulfed with hopes and prayers of the soldiers that inhabited the wasteland below. Rain fell like pellets soaking everything it could reach. My clothes hung limply off my body, dripping with the water that was flowing from the grey stained sky.
