One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Part 2

The part that really stood out to me in part 2 was when they all went fishing. The trip made me wonder why Nurse Ratched would allow a trip if it made the patients happy. When the gas station attendant tries to get the patients and the doctor to accept services they don't want, comes to their rescue, once again, by showing them how their identity as mental patients can be used to their advantage. Instead of being made to feel afraid, they can inspire fear in others by exaggerating their insanity. tries to teach the other patients another way to cope with the outside world, without using an approach of total conformity. Once they are out to sea, McMurphy refuses to step in and aid the patients. He leaves them to manage things for themselves, and, to their surprise, they find they do not actually need his help. They begin to see themselves as men, not as feeble mental patients. When the patients return to the docks, they realize that they have proven something to themselves and to the outside world, and the seamen are impressed by their large catches from the sea. I think that McMurphey really does want to do best for these people and he's trying to let them know that he is on their side. I think for a while he was mad at them because he thought these people were at the hospital because they were sent there. When he found out that they brought themselves to the hospital it made him angry because they always depend on McMurphey but he could become committed so he stopped himself from acting out.
