Sorry guys, but we are not going to be able to do a review session on line. My suggestion is to review the things we talked about in class, look at the posts from your classmates, and go to bed early.
See you tomorrow!

Part 4 Post
If you read tonight, you know that a major event has occurred on the ward. Do you think that this event will be significant to the growth of the characters? How have their actions changed? To whom do you attribute the change? AND -- Give me some examples of the way that Kesey has been and continues to be a misogynist (keep in mind what you just read).
ENJOY! Sorry it's late, the power has been out!

POST 3: Parts 2 and 3
These questions do not all apply to what you have read thus far, you still have to read to answer all of these. But, you could very easily use these questions to guide your posts over the rest of this week. If you have something else you want to address, please do so.
1. What does McMurphy’s conversation with the lifeguard signify? How does this affect the way he behaves on the ward?
2. Who died at the pool? Why is this death significant? How is it important?
3. What happens to Mr. Sefelt at lunch? What does McMurphy learn from it?
4. After Harding’s wife visits, McMurphy reveals his bad dreams. What does he dream about? What could the dreams symbolize for McMurphy’s character?
5. How does EST symbolically fit into the Chief’s perception of the Combine?
ONE-PAGE RESPONSE Worth 25 Points (NO MORE THAN 2.5 pages)
(DUE THURSDAY, MAY 8th @ 3 p.m. via Email or turn it in in class)
In a concise, one-page response, answer the following prompt (REQUIREMENTS=intro w/ thesis, body paragraphs, and conclusion):
If McMurphy is the hero (protagonist) and Nurse Ratched is the villain (antagonist), what role has Chief Bromden played so far? Has Chief Bromden displayed any growth? Be sure to give examples from the text and DO NOT USE "I" in your response.
