The weirds part of the novel that i have found was when the would put jelly on their fingers to make sure it didn't hurt. And then they would take them into this room and make the take their clothes to make sure that they don't bring something into the hospital. And when they don't do that they hold them down and make them do it. It was back in the good old days that this movie was filmed and back then they could do that without getting in trouble.
The weirdest part of the novel has to be when they hold the people down the person and they do the shock therapy and or they do the weird thing in the eye. I find it weird that it is an institution that is meant to help people out but yet they make them dumb and stupid and a vegetable.
The weirdest thing in this novel to me is when they do the shock therapy because they have hold them down and stick something in their eyes. This is supposed to help them but yet they can't do much of nothing.
The weird part about the novel is when they would hold people down and shock their brains and try to make them think they're getting controlled. They would put jelly on their fingers of a way for them to think it wouldn’t hurt them. They would also do weird things to their eyes. I think it’s kinda weird that they couldn’t bring anything to the hospital or even watch baseball for a day or how everyone in the institution would be treated like robots. They make you do whatever say or you would get disciplined. I also find it weird after the would shock your brain and make you feel like a vegetable and not be there at all mentally or physically. this is supposed to help them but you can’t do much about it.
I think the weird part of the novel to me is page 48. The meeting included a lot of staring and big pauses by waiting to answer the question. To me, there were simple to answer and it shouldn't take that long. Some of the topics that they talked about were also interesting. The story behind why they're in here and also figure out most people were there because they couldn't handle the real world. They were like robots by staying still and doing the same routine every day. That was their schedule and assuming they don't like change otherwise some people may lose it and go off the rails. I say there to scare of the real world and don't know how to control themselves if they do. For example, might permit suicide and other violent acts that could make them go to prison which they have no clue what they have done. Most people seem like they can’t take care of themselves. The guy chains up otherwise he would kill people and the old man was dancing around like he was crazy. Lastly, my opinion which was weird about the book is the group meetings and how patients acted throughout the film.
The weirdest thing i found in the book is when they are doing the shock therapy. I find it weird because the way they do it and also all the other ways they “fix” the mentally disabled. Like when they put that thing through the persons eye. I don't see where that could help it just seems like its a way to torture someone. The institution is more of a prison then a mental facility for everyone in there.
The part that I thought was weird was when the nurse ordered McMurphy and one other guy up to another floor to perform a shock to there brain. I think that was meant to slow the brain down and make them "calm". Because the workers and doctors in the institution kept saying he doesn't have a mental condition but he's just to wild. Also, the other part that I think is weird is when they brought back McMurphy from his procedure and you could see the surgical incisions.
Keisha Felcher. I think the weirdest part of the novel is when they did the shock therapy. I mean why would you do that it’s just going to make things worse than it already is. To me I think it will make that person have even more behavioral problems because that’s why they are in the hospital or because they have a disability.
Valdez- I believe the weirdest part of the book is the description of size. Bromden describes people by their true size, not merely their physical size. Kesey implies that when people allow others, such as governments and institutions, to define their worth, they can end up far from their natural state. Nurse Ratched’s true size, for example, is “big as a tractor,” because she is powerful and unstoppable. Bromden, though he is six feet seven inches tall, feels much smaller and weaker. He tells McMurphy, “I used to be big, but not no more.” As for McMurphy, Bromden says he is “broad as Papa was tall,” and his father was named The Pine That Stands Tallest on the Mountain. Bromden says his mother was twice the size of he and his father put together because she belittled them both so much. With McMurphy’s help, Bromden is gradually “blown back up to full size” as he regains his self-esteem/full size.
roths The weirdest part in the book. I would have to say the weirdest part that i seen in the book is the part where in chiefs eye he see the nurse turn in to a horrific horrible monster when the 3 workers are talking bad about the patients. Now why that is weird is because for starters it was through chief eyes and the way that he see everything is not really normal and the part were the nurse turns into a monster is also part of what he see but i a way he is right because even if the nurse is not a robot she is still cold cruel and heartless. So in conclusion that what i think is the weirdest part and it is weird because it is being described and seen through chief's eyes and he does not see things normally and so things are different and that why he saw the nurse as a robotic monster but in real life the nurse still seems cold hearted so i guess that chief see how people react but interprets it differently.
The weirdest part of the novel for me is when they are trying to "fix" the people. Like all the weird torture things they do them such as the shock therapy, the eye thing, the jelly on the fingers. I just don't think that nowadays it is considered okay for them to do this and it is not something you hear about or see anymore so it was different and weird at the same time. To help someone you do not usually think of torturing them right away or anything, now you try and use therapy and medications and stuff. \
I think the weirdest part of this movie/novel is like when they electrocute McMurphy's brain/head. I am assuming this is something they did back in the day as a punishment. I wonder what it would actually do to them like could they go brain dead from it or could it lower their abilities like walking and talking. I think this is weird because how could it make them be a better person. I get that punishment was a big thing back then but I don't see how someone can learn from that or be a better person. I just don't understand why they want to turn them into a vegetable when they are already a person that is disabled and can't do many things like a normal human being. Finn
when they kept Santa there and Santas not real but in this book he is and it proves that this place is horrible because they made him get a clean shave and made Santa skinny even tho he's got to be fat and that he thinks Mrs ratchet can control time which would be imposable to do and to think some random nurse could do it is just weird and he thinks that she has a switch to make it so they cant move
I think the weirdest part of the novel is when Charlie Chezwick throws a fit over his cigarettes in the movie and on page 173 of the book. It is weird because he is a grown man having a childish meltdown over the fact that he can not have his cigarettes at all times. He does this because McMurphy inspired him to start standing up for himself only because he does not know how to properly stand up for himself he does it the same way a child would. Charlie comes up with no real argument for why he should be able to have his cigarettes, but instead, he just screams that they belong to him and only him and throws a tantrum like a child would. This part of the book just goes to show how childish and immature many of the character including Charlie are. The fact that many of the men in the ward act like children just goes to show how bad it really is in the facility. Many of the men are childish because of their upbringing and their parents never taught them how to behave themselves, but this also reflects on Nurse Ratchet because it shows she never did anything to help these people. This part of the novel is one of the weirdest parts, but also one of the most important. -Wardlow
The weirdest thing i found in the book is when they are doing the shock therapy. I find it weird because the way they do it and also all the other ways they “fix” the mentally disabled. Like when they put that thing through the persons eye. I don't see where that could help it just seems like its a way to torture someone. The institution is more of a prison then a mental facility for everyone in there. They do random tests hoping it will work and if it doesn’t they just give up and classify them as one of their failures. I think all that is really weird and cruel for them to do. What i dont see helping the mentally disabled is the thing where they put something through the eye socket i just dont see how that is helpful. In the book on page 17 it says how they did that to a guy that wasnt nice to anyone and when he came back like a couple weeks later he was the nicest guy and caring person everyone grew to like and could be around. So the way they do these tests and “fix” everyone i just find to be weird - Frederickson
I think the weirdest part is how they treat the patients. There is no page number to describe off of but it's just the entire book on how the workers and nurses and doctors treat everyone. Making them dumb, not aware, turning them into vegetables. Why would you hurt people you claim you are trying to help. its ridiculous.-zoie hite
The weirdest part of the novel I found was it talks about McMurphy sexually assaulting a minor in the book. I don't remember hearing about this part of the film. It is also the weirdest part of the film to me because of how McMurphy tries to go into detail about it and talk about it and it was just not right. It doesn't say much about that though which is a good thing but also I'd like to know like how much jail/prison time he got for it and stuff like that. Page 47 Larson
The beginning, the first five chapters are the weirdest in the novel. The reader first has to get acclimated to the tone and language used by Chief Bromden and then has to understand that it is all in his head. Some people would have no clue what is going on until they read these first chapters over and over and over. The introduction leaves you without a clue who McMurphy was or why he was here until you get further into the novel so forming a picture without having seen the movie may be hard for some readers. The stuff that goes on in Chief's mind is strange and doesn't get explained unless you choose to read it symbolically instead of literally. Page one through page twenty six are the weirdest in the novel for first time readers. It makes it extremely difficult to read if you have not seen or heard a Native American talk in real life. It is more difficult to picture what is going on if you haven’t seen one in person or in media. The beginning with Chief Bromdens hallucinations must make this fact even more difficult to understand and strange to read. I personally think it was the weirdest part of the novel for me until I understood Chief’s dilemma which is partly the point of the novel.
The weirdest spot I found in the book was on page 217. I think it is the weirdest because it is a song, that McMurphy wrote about how Chief gets his gum that was stuck under something or the side of his bed. It is weird because McMurphy was talking to the janitor and the janitor told him. So McMurphy waits for the janitor to leave and shut the door. Then he started singing "Oh does the Spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?" But it started out with Cheif getting upset with him. But as McMurphy kept going with the song. The more he sang the more Cheif started smiling not at the song but he was at himself. He started laughing and then stopped when the song did. Then Mcmurphy gave Cheif a new piece of gum for the morning. But at this time Cheif said something to him not thinking about it. He told him thank you. But I think it's weird because threw that whole song it made Cheif trust him enough to talk to him. But it was a weird time for Chief to start talking to someone but it shows he is trusting McMurphy.
The weirds part of the novel that i have found was when the would put jelly on their fingers to make sure it didn't hurt.

The Weirdest part of the book that I found was that they did shock therapy on the patients when they get out of control and maybe it worked once or twice but after a while if you do shock theory to the same person over and over day by day then it would probably hurt them after a while and then I think that they would turn into a vegetable meaning they can't think for themselves and it's not the same person in that body before they did shock therapy to them. Shock therapy to me just sounds dumb because they don't want to hurt they just want you to calm down but shock therapy is not the way because yes it calms them down but also ruins they metal state.
