Psychology - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

After we have completed reading Chapters 1 and 2 (p. 1-14), in your notebook (which can be your old dream journal) answer the following questions.

If you write down a quote from the book, put the page number in parenthesis after the quote. For example

"She dips a nod at me as she goes past. I let the mop push me back to the wall and smile and try to foul her equipment up as much as possible by not letting her see my eyes- they can't tell so much about you if you got your eyes closed." (10)

This way during class discussion, when you refer to a particular point in the text, we can all easily access it.

1. Who is Nurse Rached/Big Nurse?

2. What kinds of words does the author use to describe Nurse Rached? Please make sure to reference the page on which you find these words.

3. Who is Chief Broom/Bromden?

4. Who is McMurphy? What kinds of words does the author use to describe him?

5. What does "bull goose loony" mean? Why do you think McMurphy wants to be the bull goose loony?

African Resistance Map




As with all fights for independence, many Africans battled for decades with the Europeans who were taking the African's land and resources. In fact, in the entire history of the British Empire, their biggest defeat was at the hands of an African military, which defeated a British Force 8,000 soldiers strong! Today in class you will be exploring the website below to aid you in learning more about key moments of African Resistance.


INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
When you get to the website, scroll down to the bottom. There will be a map identical to the map on your worksheet. What you must do is click on each event, and, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, record at least 2 details about each event.


"Until the lion tells his side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter." - African Proverb
