The students showed this by becoming “listless” during his stories. His tone and words were always picked with sarcastic criticism, too; for example, “I don’t mean to be polite or impolite, either. I guess it’s a sort of way I have, of saying things regardless.” (Cather, 245). I think Paul used this to separate himself from the rest of the dull crowd around him. Paul hated his surroundings, he felt so disgusted by it all that he presented himself in the most obnoxious way; hoping that some day those around him would grow to appreciate his distinct

Bullying does not just affect kids, but the parents too. It affects the parents because a lot of their children begin to be afraid attending school.

Melinda was affected by being bullied and led to many things and one of them is thinking about suicide.
Also he got nurse Rachett to act out of her character at times. These traits are traits of deceptiveness which is a big part of the disorder. The big Indian man started to talk and even played basketball because of jack Nicholson disorder. When he wants to act out; he becomes a sociopath. For example when he wanted to watch the baseball game he got all the patients to act like they were watching the game too, just because the nurse didn’t want to put it on television.

He seems to be a very awkward character, because of his size and people’s attitudes towards him, but as we know his inner thoughts, we can see that his apparent stupidity and clumsy presence is all an act. The way he appears to the world is a superficial veneer, and gives him opportunities to eavesdrop and find out conversations which any of the other patients couldn’t do. The orderlies also make fun of him because he mops whenever and wherever he is told (that’s why he got the nickname Chief Broom, Chief because he is half native American and Broom because he mops all the time). He seems to be scared of the Big Nurse, he describes her as very powerful. She tells the orderlies to take Bromden aside and shave him, which he tries to avoid, because he says he hates it (Ch.1, Page.6 “Before anybody can turn and look for me I duck back in the mop closet, jerk the door shut dark after me, hold my breath, Shaving before you get breakfast is the worst time”) .
The environment that Miss Sun and her students walk into everyday has turned into a prison instead of a learning place. These children are seen as the rejects of society who are physically imprisoned by metal detectors and mentally imprisoned by their personal surroundings. The educational system fails children like them. Although Malcolm X High isn’t a real school, the problems that they face are present in many public schools. Due to all of these reasons the students in the play feel as though they are prisoners; Jerome: We treated like convicts Ms Sun: How do you mean?

That forced a few changes in Brett’s behavior and lifestyle but in the end nothing prevailed. This next text I am about to speak about is also a very good example of institutions, where as the “prison farm” I spoke of earlier this text which is named “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest” Directed by Milos Forman in 1975 is about a mental hospital but the man sent there ( Jack Nicholson ) finds the head nurse a lot more dangerous than the inmates themselves. Randle Patrick McMurphy ( Jack Nicholson ) thinks he can get out of doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plans are rapidly backfired when he is sent a “mental asylum”. He tries to liven the place up on his arrival by playing card games and playing basketball with his fellow inmates, but the head nurse is after him at every turn.
Other phrases and words they go on to use are; “drag-out fight”, “sits alone in the principals office”, “tears streaming”, “By power, we mean differences in strength, confidence, status or aggressiveness”, “gender-related”, “a bullied student is a terrorized youth” and lastly “breaking the bullying cycle”. These quotes from the article have so much emotion in them they make you feel fro the seven you old, or better yet all kids who get bullied. It makes you want to put a stop to it immediately. The writers used logos in the paper also. They quoted several people; Dan Olweus a forerunner in bullying research and prevention, Dr. Jessie Klein and Astor Meyer and Behre.
