What she dreams of there in the center of those wires is a world of precision efficiency and tidiness like a pocket watch with a glass back, a place where the schedule is unbreakable.” (Kesey 28,29) Through this quote you can tell the preciseness that Nurse has, she is not a lax person she is very stringent when it comes to the rules she has in the ward. ” So she really lets herself go and her painted smile twists, and she blows up bigger and bigger, big as a tractor… you can smell the machinery inside.

Though Kaysen is eighteen years-old, she has a choice, but due to her exhaustion from her depression she puts up little resistance and ends up signing herself into the facility.

At 16, in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, she asked her mother “Is there no place on earth for me?” It’s a question she asked again and again over the years and by the book’s end, this question haunts me as well. Should patients be locked up in a mental institution or among our communities?
