Please, be mindful, though we're skipping this article, you absolutely NEED to know the vocabulary for the test. 

Recommended: do assignment 53 of the wasp to practice the vocabulary. Key will be made available in Teams.  

Geoffrey Chaucer

• English poet & author, civil servant. Nicknamed: "Father of English literature/poetry"
• 14th century 
• started using "Middle English" (1150 - 1500) when most works were still written/published in a French dialect or Latin. 
• Most famous work: Canterbury Tales. 

Follow the word

You're going to watch a video about the Wife of Bath, which is one of Geoffrey Chaucer's most famous tales (Canterbury Tales). While watching, take notes for a class discussion. Pay attention to: 

• things that might tell you something about Chaucer's view of women (focus on positive AND negative things). 
• how Chaucer's attitude towards women corresponds to what you already know about 14th-century society. 

Follow the word

Open your student file on p. 21. Discuss the questions with your classmates in groups of 2 or 3 (Assignment 69). Use your notes. Speak English! 

Done? Do assignment 

70A+B together. 

Follow the word

Student file p. 22. Read assignment 71. 

Listen to the recording of the article text and answer each

question using only one word. 

Magazine stays closed.

One Flew > write notes!

Setting

Mental hospital > psychiatric ward. Oregon, 1950s. 

Chiefm Bromden who narrates the story remembers that WW II happened (recently), but he's been a while at the hospital. 

One Flew > write notes!

Characters (Overall):

Chief Bromden > Nicknamed "Chief Broom" (because he sweeps the hallways with a broom). Indian, believed to be deaf and dumb, doesn't speak. Narrates the story, his journey as well. (vague and foggy, confused, because of the drugs they give him)  

Nurse Ratched > Nicknamed "the Big Nurse", strict, cold (like a machine), tyrannic. She's narcissistic > thinks only of herself and how to gain admiration and rewards from her superiors. She relishes in her own power and uses this to satisfy her wants and needs. 

The Black Boys > three orderlies who work at the hospital. (they're not friendly at all, they're bullies)

 

One Flew > write notes!

Randle McMurphy >  McMurphy is described as big, broad, red-headed with sideburns and overly confident. His face has the scar of a fight and his hands are beat up. He walks over the Acutes who’re playing cards, even his stance/posture exudes confidence and pure maleness. He is loud and blunt, rude even. Overtly sexual with the way he talks and behaves. Chief Bromden describes him as: "No ordinary Admission". 

One Flew > write notes!

Background R.P. McMurphy > He came from Pendleton Work Farm and was sent to the mental hospital because the judge thought he was a psychopath. He got sent to the work farm but found the hard work tiring and lied about his mental capacities so they would send him to the mental hospital. He believed that to be a solution to his unwillingness to work and saw it as an opportunity to spend his sentence relaxing. He was accused - but didn't get convicted ;) - for the rape on an underage girl who he believed had lied about her age. 

One Flew > write notes!

Acutes > A group of patients who seem to be 'curable'. This group consists of Chief, McMurphy, Harding, Cheswick, Billy, etc. 

Chronics > the patients who aren't curable and will probably spend the remainder of their lives in the hospital. There are the Walking Chronics, the Wheelers (those in wheelchairs), and the Vegetables (those who are essentially brain dead). 

Admission > where new patients enter the ward. These are escorted in by staff. 

One Flew > write notes!

Themes 

Power > There's a clear imbalance between patients and staff, which would be normal if it weren't for the misuse of power by the orderlies and Nurse Ratched. The patients are abused, their wants and needs aren't taken into consideration. Nurse Ratched especially knows how to make sure she holds power over the patients by emasculating them, using pychological warfare. She's manipulative and drunk on the power she wields. 

Freedom & Confinement > McMurphy believes he can spend the rest of his sentence in ‘freedom’ if he acts insane and gets sent to the mental hospital. You could also say life inside the hospital is confining and the world Outside offers 'freedom'. 

Read > Notes

You can continue reading where you left off last time. 

• Can you look up two examples of personification in the book? 
• Can you look up two examples of similes in the book? 
• Can you find one example of an onomatopoeia

Make sure to include p. numbers for every literary device/answer you find!

One Flew > Questions

Questions focused on themes > you may use the internet to look up information if needed. This is homework for Friday, October 4th. 

• Is McMurphy mentally ill or just a schemer who rebels against authority?
  
• How does society view mental illness in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest? How does the medical establishment view it? Are there conflicting viewpoints expressed in the book and, if so, what are they?
• What does freedom mean for the patients? What does it mean for Nurse Ratched?
  
• What are the consequences of confinement? What are the benefits?
• Which character is the most powerful in this novel? Which character is the most powerless? How do characters react to being powerful or powerless?

Adjectives > Bijvoeglijke nmw.

Use: to describe a noun (= zlfst. nmw.)

Place in sentence: 

1. Always after verb to be: 

e.g.: The girls are pretty. 

2. Most of the time before other verbs: 

e.g.: The pretty girl read a book. 

Adjectives > order in a sentence

It might happen that you come across a sentence with more than 1 or 2 adjectives. There are rules governing the order in which adjectives come, whether there are two or more. The order is: 

1. quality/opinion > beautiful
2. shape > round
3. color > red
4. Origin > Italian
5. Material > leather

The beautiful, round, red, Italian, leather bag cost more than her budget allowed. 

Adverbs > Bijwoorden

Use: to give information about another word. Can describe a 

1. verb, 2. an adjective, or 3. another adverb: 

1. The boy was singing loudly. 

2. The girl's handwriting is very beautiful. 

3. The music was quite beautifully played. 

Rule: adjective + ly > however, there are exceptions!

Spelling of adverbs > exceptions

Can you think of more examples in each category? 

Exceptions

The adverbs deep, fair, fast, hard, high, late, low, long, right, straight > the same meaning when used as an adverb.

e.g.: Tim is a fair player > Tim always plays fair.

In the second sentence, fair refers to the way Tim plays (verb).

Tip > See gram. book p. 15 (bottom) for more examples.

1. Pay attention to...

After verbs to be, to seem, to feel, to look, to smell, to sound and to taste, you use an adjective, NOT an adverb. 

Examples: 

This is easy. 

He seems nice. 

This tastes funny. 

2. Pay attention to...

The adverbs deeply, fairly, hardly, highly and lately have a different meaning from adverbs 

deep, fair, hard, high and late.

 

I am deeply indebted to you. = I feel very grateful for what you've done for me. 

He’s fairly successful. = He's succesful to a high degree. 

I can hardly wait. = It is difficult for me to wait (bc of excitement). 

She’s highly respected. = People admire/respect her (a lot!) because of her achievements/qualities.

We’ve been very busy lately. = We've been very busy recently. 

3. Pay attention to...

After adjectives that already end with -ly (e.g.: friendly, likely, lively, lonely, lovely, silly and ugly) you use a description with the words: 

in a ….. way                                   or                             in a ……. manner.

e.g.: He greeted them in a friendly way. 

Don’t answer in such a silly manner. 

Grammar > Adjectives/Adverbs

Open your grammar booklet on p. 15 - 18.  Do ex. A, B & C. Use the tips/explanation as you do the exercises. 

You may work together, but be mindful of your classmates. 

Done? Study vocab (all five articles as mentioned in the studiewijzer) / or get started on homework for Monday (see Magister).
