Cuckoo's nest part 2

Part two of Cuckoo's nest started to attract me more to the book. It's always hard to get into a book when someone suggests it because you expect it to be mind blowing from the first word on. In part two of the book. the characters naturally start to grow more. We see the patients start to ignore the Nurse so they can get what they want. However most of them are still scared of her and her power to keep them there as long as she pleases. During this section it becomes apparent that the Nurse can easily manipulate McMurphy. This is due to the fact that he has such a strong effect on the other patients, but the Nurse has the final say in how long he stays. This is why all the others fear the nurse. They fear her power because all it takes is an order from her and she can make the patients life a living hell for as long as she wants. McMurphy continues to try to push the limits and see how far he can get. It will be interesting to see if the Nurse breaks down completely or if McMurphy's actions will subside after time. When the way McMurphy is acting he seems to be like a young child in a new enviornment. He is going to take all he can before being stopped or stopping due to satisfaction. It is interesting to see what side gives first.
