When I was searching for something to submit to the blog I stumbled upon this quote, "Man, when you lose your laugh, you lose your footing." (Ken Kesey)
This quote caught my attention because Mr.McMurphy seems to be infatuated with laughter, and immediately notices that there is an absence of laughter in the ward. However, through perseverance and dedication, McMurphy prompts laughter amongst the patients, and by the end they are all laughing and making jokes.
Wow that's actually pretty insane how much it pertains to the novel and McMurphy's character. It especially reminds me of that one scene where they are all on the fish and he just begins to spontaneously laugh, causing everyone on the boat to laugh with him, and how pain and laughter go hand in hand in that scene.
