When they finally pull up Kenny almost run over Tub and start to taunt him. After the taunting Tub finally gets fed up. He tells Frank how take up for him. Never did they ever think that Tub would be the one they depend on. Kenny, who’s too honest and tries to be the tougher one of the group, he gets a laugh out of belittling others.
For example, at the drive-in, Johnny managed to raise his voice to Dally—which had been Johnny’s most helpful “stand over” man as well as idol—telling him to stop harassing the two girls, Cherry and Marcia. Due to the new boldness of Johnny, Dally had been shocked and therefore stepped away as told. Fortunately, Johnny’s intervention on the girls’ behalf pleases the girls, and they talked and walked with the greasers. On the other hand, this interaction between the female Socs and male greasers sparked the anger of the Soc boys and motivated them to attack Johnny and Ponyboy. When he and Pony were later jumped by the Socs in the park, Johnny had the nerve to use his switchblade to attempt to scare off the Socs.
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”) . In the second chapter we find out that they had given drugs to Chief Broom. In this chapter however a new patient is introduced to the ward, an Irishman called McMurphy. He is not like the others, and isn't intimidated by the black boys, that impresses the Chief. He introduces himself to the other patients by saying “My name is McMurphy, buddies, R. P. McMurphy, and I’m a gambling fool.” In the third chapter Bromden describes how the day room is split in two between the Acutes and Chronics.
Finally, George and Lennie are foils based on the facts that George is cruel to Lennie and Lennie is clam. In the beginning, Steinbeck, shows George’s personality when he’s yelling at Lennie cause he forgot where they were going, “You crazy son-of-a-bitch. You keep me in hot water all the time” (11). This shows that George is always yelling at Lennie because he’s always causing trouble, but, in the middle of the book, when Lennie goes into the barn and he see the light to Crooks’ room, he goes in there and starts to talk with Crooks. “Nothing—I seen your light.
I’m working with a vocal coach. Strengthening the “ahhaa”. A lot of guys ignore the laugh and that’s about standards. I mean, if you’re going to get into the Evil League of Evil you HAVE to have a memorable laugh. I mean do you think Bad Horse didn’t work on his whinny?
It is then that it becomes noticeable that the blind man makes the woman happier than her own husband does. Later on in the story, the blind man tells a joke and the woman laughs. Her husband notices this action. Observing of the actions a woman and how she acts in the presence of other men, and actually noticing the difference is something that jealous men do. The husband is obviously not happy that the blind man makes his wife laugh more than he does while he is not even able to do so himself.
He is initially very rude and abrupt with his sister however she doesn't seem to be too fazed or affected by his aggression as her response is, to laugh. We then see him call his mother a bitch and we start to see a pattern of frustration and anger towards his family. We then see a contrasting personality when Gretchen, a love interest, is present. He suddenly appears very shy and awkward and over all not a very predominantly male character. Where as before he was coming across as strong and bold we now see him acting weak and awkward representing quite an feeble male in the presence of a woman that he isn’t related to.
They’re all yelling for McMurphy’s help but all he can do is sit there and laugh. The chief goes on to say, “Because he knows you have to laugh at the things that hurt you just to keep yourself in balance, just to keep the world from running you plumb crazy…he won’t let the plain blot out the humor no more’n he’ll let the humor blot out the pain…” This quote stood out to me the most because it portrays the feelings McMurphy has. It shows that he truly understands how to get through the little things that bother him in
He said, “I noticed that several of his punch lines had been unintelligible, and the audience had actually laughed at nothing but the cue of his hand slap.” (111) Martin felt that the audience was forced to laugh not because of the joke or because the man was being funny, but because of the cue that was provided. He strongly disliked this and wanted his comedy to be unpredictable and Rodriguez 2 more importantly memorable. This caused Martin to take a deeper look into his own act to make sure that it was set up in a way that the audience would laugh when they actually thought it was funny and not when they felt it was expected of them. He started doing odd unpredictable things to accomplish
The young man is anxious to get a clear picture of his behavior, realizing that it could have been indecent the night before. He asks many questions, implies a lot of interjections (“My God”, “Oh, Lord”) and constantly reproaches himself for being a fool (“I was comical”, “I made such a fool of myself”). The girl on the contrary tries to prove that he was “perfectly fine” (“You were all right”, “You were awfully amusing”, “You were wonderful”), trying to comfort him, though the scenes she reminds him of are far from being decent. She also uses quite a number of negative constructions (“Not a thing”, “You didn’t do a thing”) to object his self-condemnation. So, the girl is obviously trying to win the young man’s attention, being
