Nursing Home

You could hear the harsh wind of winter over the honking cars and the traffic as Billy walked into the nursing home where he worked at and where his dad was being kept.
As soon Billy walked in everyone said hello to him and he said hello back. He walked into his office and took off his coat, hat and his gloves.
Billy is 29 years old, tall, blonde, and really smart. All he ever wanted to do was help people and now he’s somewhat doing that. He’s the manager of the nursing home. Everyone always came to Billy for help and just to talk to him if they ever needed to talk.
Billy filled out some paperwork that needed to be filled out. After he had filled some out he left it on his desk and went to check on his dad.
“Good morning dad”

    Though Billy displays many positive character traits, his kindness to those around him stands out the most. He exudes genuine care and concern for those around him, especially for Reuven, who shares a similar ailment. Despite only knowing him for a little while, he remarks to his new friend, “We were all very worried about you” (49). Later, he demonstrates kindness to Mr. Savo by encouraging him about his injury, and the hospital staff by not complaining about the food, even though others did. Potok does not write much about Billy in the story, but even the smallest of actions give…

    Billy is voluntarily in the hospital, as he is afraid of the outside world due to his Mother trapping him and not allowing him to grow as a young male. Billy didn’t have the courage to stand up for himself in the beginning until McMurphy came along and helped expand his growth as a man. Billy finally decides to stand up to Ms. Ratched and have no shame in his actions by sleeping with Candy but ends up backfiring on him. Ms. Ratched threatens to tell Billy’s Mother which leads him to being powerless and vulnerable. Both women held him back from growing up and the fact he’s failed his mother and her envision of him is too much to handle. With all the stress, disappointment, and pressure from the threat given, Billy ends up committing suicide. When McMurphy realizes what has happen he tells Ms. Ratched, “First Charles Cheswick and how William Bibbit! I hope you’re finally satisfied. Playing with human lives—gambling with human lives—as if you thought yourself to be a God!” (Kesey 266). It was all too overwhelming and unbearable for him and at this point it was too late for Billy. Kesey is telling his readers that by Billy holding himself back from sticking up for himself earlier, he most likely wouldn’t have resulted in ending his own life due to the amount of stress and pressure put on him from those who over powered him in his…

    It’s my first day in this mental hospital, and I hate it. These green suits are like hazard suits. They’re meant to shield the wearer from hostile environments that are a threat to their health. Here, it’s the converse. They’re meant to protect the staff and society from us. I’ve heard from this Indian guy, some Chief Bromden, that whoever’s in there is different than what society accepts. I’ve also heard from him that Lord Nurse Ratched gets to determine whether you leave or not, which all depends if you’re committed. My entry interview to determine that is next.…

    Walking into work I smell the aromas of a nursing home. I hear the sounds of wheel chairs and walkers scraping against the hard wood surface. As I walk to station one, I stop by the break room to store my food. The room is full of people charting the prior shift. Walking out of the room, I continue to station one. Finding the cork board with the neon green paper, I see what hall I am working. There is only my name and one other on spring hall. I know it is going to be a rough night; but at the end, I will remember my goal, which is helping others.…
