Luke and McMurphy: A Comparison

In comparing Luke and McMurphy, you find that the only way for their stories to end would be to end their lives. In both cases they were killed by other people, they were both "killed" by the person they were opposing, someone of authority. In some ways this could be viewed as the ultimate defeat, but to the other prisoners, this was a victory. The goal of the prison authority is to make the prisoners better people, so that they will not commit any more crimes if they are releases; they try to teach the prisoners a lesson. However, they failed when it came to Luke. The only way for them to stop Luke was to kill him. This was a rare moment when the authority shows weakness. This concept can also be applied to McMurphy's case. The only way the Nurse could stop McMurphy was to give him a lobotomy, an attempt to "fix" him. Although the Chief was the one that physically killed McMurphy, the Nurse killed him mentally. In the Chief's eyes, he was doing McMurphy a favor and saving him from a miserable life in the hospital. Both characters have been referred to as Christ-like and I agree. They are not Christ-like in their morals and values. In McMurphy's case he was a savior for the other patients on the ward, and Luke was the savior for the other men in the prison. They were not only saviors for the men around them, they died for them as well.

Cukoos Nest

This book started off very confusing but after getting more into the book you realize what is going on. That mental institute kind of scared me. The things they did to the patients and how they treated them was unfair. I find it pretty crazy that he was able to write this book while on drugs. It enhances the all around plot of the book. When you think about it, if McMurpy did not come the institute you have think about how some of those men would have never gotten out. McMurpy opened the doors of the men to come out of the hidden personality. He gave them an opportunity and voice. I believed for the most part they did well with it. When they voted for the baseball game and for the basketball team. They went from scared people to more confident. McMurpy added life in the book, he taught the men more about life then I think the nurse was. Who do you think was the most important character in the book?

Cool Hand Luke

While watching cool hand Luke you realized how much of a determined man he was. He thought for himself but also acted for himself. He would not let any man get in his way. He changes the atmosphere of the ward. He knew when to give a good time. The men were a lot livelier when he was there. He never turned away from a challenge. When he ate all those eggs he could have just given up but he had faith in himself and some of the other did to. He always took the opportunity to work really hard so that they got their job done faster and they could relax a longer time. He was smart in a way and knew a since of timing. All of the time Luke ran ways he ran as hard and as far as he could. A couple times I thought he would have had it to freedom but always found himself back there. He was a smart man that used that to his advantage and in the end making the head guy so mad and threaten by him he killed him. I wish the movie did not end that way. But you can’t always have a happy ending.

Allergies

The real challenge all started in six grade when I found out I was lactose intolerant. When I was a baby I was also lactose intolerant but it did not affect me as much. I just had different formulas. But in six grade my favorite thing to have was ice cream form the dairy queen. After eating this kind of food I always got sick. But being that age I was confuse about what was going on. I never heard for food allergies. So I let it go on of about a whole summer before telling my mom what was going on. Finally when I told my mom she told me to tell her next time it happened. Well the next day I went to the dairy queen and got sick. So for a whole week I did not eat dairy nothing happened my stomach was doing great. After doctor the doctor confirmed it, I went of dairy completely. Been like that ever since. Ever since then I have found alternatives to that kind of food. It took a while to weed out the stuff I did not like but I did. In these six year I have only had one slip up and that was when a doctor prosrbed me was meds that had lactose in it. Safe to say that made me even sicker. Worst couple days that my stomach encountered.

When I entered in to high school my stomach started to bother me. Every day for I would get up not feeling well I continue through the day like that. There were only a couple days were I did not feel that pain. Those were the best days. But over time I learned to deal with all the pain and push past it. But it got so bad that it kept me from hanging out, going to play sports. All I did was stay home in pain. Over those last three years I had gone to the doctors so much that I was use to going four times a month. I ended up going to three doctors over the past three years. Then final my parents got really desperate because I would go a week at a time only eating bread and water. Finally mom my way talking to this girl’s mom in her class and she recommended this doctor. So I went and described what I felt. The doctor took four tubes of blood to test me with. The test came back as I was allergic to all types of yeast, gluten and eggs. So I went off those types of food. Ever since then my stomach has been normal. I have my bad days but I can enjoy life and worry less about my health. It was a weight lifted off my shoulders. My life has dramatically taken a turn for the best and I owe it all to this one lady, the doctor and my parents. Bu tit has its challenges that I am restrict in food chooses. But my one big thing that bothers me is gone people say I am sorry. I am not sorry for myself.

If had to be allergic to one thing what food would it be to??
