PART IV

In part 4 Nurse Ratched finds out that Bibbit and Starr had sex. The nurse sends him to visit Dr. Spivey but in the mean time Bibbit commits suicide. Ratched blames McMurphy for what Bibbit did to himself, he gets so mad he attackes Nurse Ratched. McMurphy is sent to Disturbed where he gets a labotomy performed on him. By the time McMurphy is back most patients have checked themselves out and the ones left refuse to belive that the guy who was labotomized is not McMurphy.

PART III

In Part 3, especially during the the fishing trip scene, the patients start to learn more about themselves and become more comfortable with their illnesses and try to better themselves. One of the first things that McMurphy said when he arrived to the hospital was that no one in the ward ever laughed. but on the fishing boat, everyone is laughing and having a really good time. After being in that hospital for so many years and being stuck inside, they patients are finally receiving "treatment".

PART II

In Part 2 McMurphy is starting to really have a positive influence on the other patients. He understand the other patients and realizes why they are in the ward just like him and tries to help them out and figure out ways to better their treatment. But the most important thing that happens in this section is the change that starts to takes place in McMurphy and the kind of person he is. He is beginning to realize that he has some responsibility to the other patients and then he learns that almost all of them are in the hospital voluntarily, and he starts to feel a little different.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: PART I

Part 1 talks about the first week that McMurphy is in the ward, he is also the main character and narrator. There are already signs that he is starting to have an effect on the patients. For example, Chief Bromden, although he is over six and a half feet tall, feels himself to be small and weak. McMurphy also gets Harding to admit that the Big Nurse is not helping them, but keeping them under tight wraps and treating them like children. McMurphy forces them to see that the therapy sessions that are supposed to be helping them are in fact having the opposite effect. McMurphy tried to show everyone what is really going on and basically get the fact across.
