novel synthesis

Between the novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and text "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2", I've made the connection where both institutions are trying to conform their patients/students. Using the quotes " teachers leave them kids alone!" and "we don't need no thought control." from the text we can make the connection to the novel where the nurse and her aides are trying to control the way their patients act and make them do what they are told from the narrators perspective. In the novel the big nurse brainwashes her patients into believing they have to do what they are told in order to make progress in fitting into society more comfortably and to make an earlier release. The quote "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding." is a great example from the text "Another Brick in the Wall" because it's a figure of speech meaning the same thing as do what you are told and you shall be rewarded sort of method, therefore connecting to the novel furthermore. As you get farther into the novel you can relate it to the text more as the nurse uses methods such as rationing their cigarettes and threatening to put patients up on the "disturbed" ward if they're so much as to act out of line. McMurphy can be connected to the narrator of the text as he is the one person in the novel who tries to convince the patients that they are just as normal or weird as the next person here and there when he realizes that almost everybody is voluntarily admitted to the institution and let themselves become a "robot" who's every move is controlled by the big nurse.

Links Between "The Perrils of Idifference" and "The Lottery"

In "The Perrils of Indifference", as he talks about when all those events in Germany such as all the people being forced into concentration camps were happening the people that were suffering because of these acts of violence and hate believed that only they knew about what was going on and that if only they could find a way to get the word out to others from different countries that someone would step into the picture and stop what was happening. In truth everyone knew about what was happening in Germany, as nobody did anything to prevent any of this just goes on to prove that we as normal people can be a part in an act of violence with no meaning at all what so ever. This is the same as in the short story "The Lottery" , where they all seem to be decently normal people in the flesh and then out of nowhere everybody turns on the one person who was chosen by the lottery and start pelting rocks and pebbles at them. You start to realize that everyone has a part in violence and most choose to abide by it or just pretend to not notice it when being witness to violence everyday, from kids teasing others all the way down the list to muggings or random acts of violence such as terrorism. Even the Government promotes violence with all the wars happening everywhere. This all just goes to show that we as people can be violent not only individuals that can be recognized but every single person out there.

Top Three

My top 3 bmx riders I would love to have the chance to ride with. I would have to start with Nathan Williams. He is a pro rider on United bmx team. Secondly Garrett Reynolds, he rides pro for Nike. Last but not least I must rely on Derrek Strickland, newly introduced by Federal's team of sparatic riders. The person I would want to have the chance to hangout with for a day the most is Garrett Reynolds, I think he could teach me alot about riding and how to have fun constantly while succeeding at the same time. Nathan Williams, where to even begin... Amazing at bmxing, has part-ownership in unitedbikes cooperation, and makes a living doing wat he loves most, biking. He was his own signature parts on the market and gets paid to hangout all day with his best friends and just travel the world day by day finding new spots to ride or new parks to check out, who wouldnt want the opportuniy in life to jam around with this dude. My third choice surprisingly enough is Derrek Strickland, nineteen years old and already a pro rider after only four and a half years of riding. He gets to ride five days out of the week and work on bikes on weekends at a bike shop as a part time job. Derrek could forsure teach me a few pointers on how to live the life. There you have it, my three choices and why I would choose to ride or hangout with them in a nut shell.

Superpowers

Superpowers you say? I could sure use a few of those. I'm not quite sure as to which super power i would choose tho, I really wish i could have them all haha. I'm pretty sure I would choose a superpower that suits my needs and wants. I would really want to be invisible, that way when ever my gramma calls me to do chores or something tedious like that i can slip past her and out the door un-noticed and take a cruise on my bike down to the skatepark. Invisibility truly is remarkable when u need to get out of a situation u don't want to be involved in.
