One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest part III

As another day in the ward is dwindling away, something out of the norm takes place. While lying in bed, the black boy points out to McMurphy that Chief Bromden is always chewing gum but where does he get it from being that he has no money. Realizing that McMurphy gives Chief Bromden a piece of gum and Chief says thank you. After that, Chief Bromden felt secure enough to open up to McMurphy by telling him his history. He explains his family when he was younger but he explains in depth that he was always treated like he was invisible so he always listened and never responded. Causing him to be cagey. Chief Bromden has finally found a reliable companion and isn't alone anymore.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest part II

Part II begins with Chief Bromden worrying to himself that everyone at the ward has unmasked his disguise because McMurphy told him to lift his hand and he did. While sitting in the tv room, the black boy approaches Chief Bromden and tells him to go do his duty and Chief Bromden acts like he doesn't hear him. The black boy grabs him and directs him to his duty. During every staff meeting at the ward Chief Bromden is allowed to clean around because they "think" that he's disable meanwhile he's been easedropping the whole time. Chief Bromden overhears Nurse Rachet saying that McMurphy is committed and that he's only making it worse for himself. My question is why hasn't McMurphy been informed that he's committed and needs Nurse Rachet's help to leave? Wouldn't it have benifited McMurphy if he knew from the start?

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest part I

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" begins with the narritor Chief Bromden moping the ward floors. Two black boys are the reason why Chief Bromden is moping. It's the black boys job in the ward to be moping the floors and they put it on Chief Bromden because their lazy and trying to boss him around because he's deaf and mute. In reality Chief Bromden puts up a front that he's disable so it won't draw any attention to himself. He believes that the fact that he's half Indian will help him be incognito. While Chief Bromden is moping, Nurse Ratched comes out and starts with the two black boys. When Nurse Ratched catches the black boys not doing their work in the ward and tells them to shave Chief Bromden's face. While the two black boys were shaving Chief Bromden's face an unexpected incident occured. Chef Bromden witnesses some fog around the ward and I was wondering: what was the fog? They first introduce the fog when Chef Bromden was getting his face shaved. The black boys started to shave his temples and he started to yell so loud that his screams soaked up all other sound. Then comes the fog which made me think it was a calming method because it came at a time when Chef Bromden was in distress. But is that what the fog really is?
