So far in the book the narrator has described many characters. McMurphy has come to the institute. The doctors looked for “previous psychiatric history” and did not find anything (46). However, McMurphy found some writing that said he did some psychiatric “outbreaks” (46). He thinks he is “crazy” but I don’t think he is (46). I think that he wants to be in the institute to get out of working in the fields. He has no other signs that he is crazy. Although many of the people in the institute don’t seem to be crazy, they hide it like Chief Broom does.
`Chief Broom so far is the narrator who is describing what the place and the people look and act like. The things that he talks about aren’t the same as they really are. The “fog” is just what he sees (14). The fog is actually what he thinks it is. The fog represents getting medicine and he fills dizzy and can’t see anything. The characters are always talking about the Big Nurse who actually isn’t that big. She is a tiny woman who is just very big in her upper body. I think that they also call her the Big Nurse because she is the person who is running the institute. She tells everyone what to do and when to do it.

I agree with your post but with McMurphy i think he might be crazy. It might not be a lot but maybe just a little bit. Seeing the signs like, his accounts with the law and fighting. I think he might have a temper issue but also while he is at the hospitial he seems to care for the patients. To truely find out if he is crazy we need to wait to find out!

I agree with what you said about McMurphey pretending he is crazy just so he can get out of working in the fields. He often talks about how nice the asylum is and how much better it is than working in the fields. I think Chief Broom is a little insane, but I also think he is acting this way so he can avoid a situation just like McMurphey is.
