Reviewing Vocabulary for Unit 3 Homework: Read up to page 75 in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest & Study for Vocabulary Re-take

Introduction to Novel Man’s right to be an individual versus society’s need to make him conform. This theme is reflective of the social climate of the 1960’s. Other ideas to note throughout the novel: what is sanity? how authority cripples people? is the natural man better off free? can the simple force of one’s personality overcome the repression of society? While the story is rooted in the ideals and cultures of the 1960’s, many of the concerns are as relevant today as they were then.

Reviewing Terms for discussion Motif - a situation, incident, idea, or image that is repeated significantly in a literary work. Examples: In Hamlet, revenge is a frequently repeated idea. In The Catcher in the Rye, Holden continually comments on the phoniness of people he meets. Irony -a perception of inconsistency, sometimes humorous, in which the significance and understanding of a statement or event is changed by its context. Example: The firehouse burned down.

Jigsaw 1st & 2nd period #1-4 3rd period 1-6 Groups will meet up according to number given. All 1’s will meet to discuss, 2’s, 3’s, etc. Expectations: Discussion of the novel and questions only please. Write down your thoughts in your notebook keeping track of which chapter you are discussing. Note page numbers and refer to the text often citing specific evidence relevant to the question.

Chapter 2 How does the Chief know the new Admission is “no ordinary Admission”? What evidence is there in this section of patient abuse? Briefly describe R. P. McMurphy. What does the description of McMurphy’s hands suggest to the reader about his character? Why is the Chief impressed with McMurphy’s laugh? Define “psychopath.” Why is McMurphy in the hospital?

Chapter 3 Briefly identify Ellis and Ruckly. Why do you think the author includes so many details about these two minor characters? Describe Harding. Why do you think Billy identifies Harding as the “bull goose loony”? What do Harding’s hands reveal about his character? What new information is revealed about Chief Bromden when McMurphy asks Billy Bibbit about him? What pieces of information are revealed near the end of the section?

Chapter 4 What is the dictionary definition of the noun “Combine”? What is the Chief’s definition? Nurse Ratched maintains control of her ward by hand-picking the doctor and the orderlies. Briefly describe the doctor, three black orderlies, and why she thinks they qualify for their jobs. Find a passage in this Chapter that illustrates the recurring motif in this novel that Bromden feels the hospital is like a machine. Find an example of irony in this Chapter. What happens to Mr. Taber under Nurse Ratched’s care? Why do you think the authorincludes this information about Mr. Taber at this point in the story?
