CUCKOO'S NEST 3

In Part III of the Cuckoo's Nest, the part that I liked the most was McMurphy's fishing trip. McMurphy gives the men a chance to see what's outside of the hospital walls. The men are all excited and anxious for the fishing trip. On the day of the trip the big nurse tries to stop McMurphy but she is unsuccessful in her attempt. Candy Starr, McMurphy's friend who happens to be a prostitute, arrives to pick up McMurphy and his friends gives him the news that her friend couldn't make it because she got married. The nurse hears this and tries to tell the men that the trip is canceled because everyone can't fit into one car. A doctor is listening nearby and decides to also go on the trip so he drives some patients in his car. The men get into a quarrel at the gas station because people outside of the hospital look at the men different and think they are crazy. McMurphy proves once again that he cares about the other patients because he stands up to the workers at the gas station. This is a very obvious reason as to why the men look up to McMurphy, he is their voice basically. Overall, the patients have a good time on the trip and realize that there is live beyond the walls of the hospital. The patients begin to notice that they have power, despite what the big nurse enforces onto them.
