This is the fourth and final blog of the book One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest. In the end Nurse Ratched leads Billy, leading to his suicide, McMurphy becomes a Christ figure for the patients in the ward. McMurphy makes a sacrifice to make sure that Ratched can’t use Billy’s death to undo everything they have gained. Though the nurse tries to give McMurphy a fate worse than death, Bromden dignifies McMurphy by killing him, which means he would always be a symbol of resistance to the patients of the hospital ward.
I think this book was very interesting. The characters are what made it most interesting. Also, Nurse Ratched because you really never knew what she was going to do next. Bromden and McMurphy also gave much foreshadowing of the story for example McMurphy starting to feel weak in part three of this book.
I enjoyed reading the story and having class discussions about each Part of this book. Also by reading it aloud in the classroom that gave me a good look on what was going on and questions that were asked.

PART 3 of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest!!..~
In Part Three of One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, It started to get really interesting and more into detail. The Rebellion of McMurphy grows as the patients begin to betray Ratched in their own ways. Ratched is being reminded that she has not fully brainwashed McMurphy and that he is stronger than she thought he would be. McMurphy does not think of Ratched as a high power like she would like to be known as. The only way for the nurse, who is Ratched, to get her mind off of her power over him which isn’t going so well is to continue to scare the patients at the ward.
Bromden becomes stronger as he has conversations with McMurphy and without him realizing it he is becoming more of an individual. All of the patients in the ward are still being mistreated. McMurphy is the only one who knows Bromdens secret. This secret is about Bromden and how he isn’t really dumb and deaf. McMurphy continues to lead the patients in the right direction at the ward.
McMurphy also composed notes for the nurse to find in the latrine with her mirror. He wrote long outlandish tales about himself in the logbook and signed them Anonymous. Sometimes he slept till eight o’clock and she would reprimand him but he would destroy her whole effect and make her mad. The responsibilities of the patients start to wear McMurphy down. I think this might be a foreshadowing of what will happen in the long run.
These are some of the main points I wanted to talk about and show that this is the main part of the book, which gets into the characters inner feelings. McMurphy is starting to be overwhelmed with all of the patients and this could have something to do with past experiences of him.
