When she got a nail shot in her head; they said that she got “drilled” and went on to say other rude comments about her.
Jane may also be affected by nightmares, may psychologically distrust men in uniforms, become an activist against guns to an extreme compared to someone else. In some cases, perhaps Jane’s healthier disposition about her experience during her senior year at Kent State could currently be in a dormant/avoidance state. It makes you wonder if she has or had a college-aged child and they decided to live on campus while away at school, would the aftermath of the Kent State Shootings cause Jane to become deeply affected and possibly need psychological counseling, would she become overly anxious because of her experiences? Since Jane’s background is in art, if she finds herself in the depths of distress, perhaps ways in which she might find healing would be to use her creative abilities with drawings, paintings, etc. to express her pain, release its energy, or the hold it may have on her. This in turn would allow her to talk about it within the context of her

Chapters five to eight of Lord of the Flies carries the main focus of character development. The beastie becomes more apparent throughout this section. Simon attempts to describe the beastie as “mankind’s essential illness” (Golding 96). However, he is unable to portray his thoughts effectively due to his introverted tendencies limiting his ability to speak to a crowd and the low maturity level of his audience. I found this connects to the growing recognition of mental illness of the time this novel was written.
Because of this, I can infer that jealousy will be a theme of the novel. I get the impression that, at some point, Jane was an important figure in the town, which is how everyone knows her. They are quick to judge her because of how much she seems to have changed since she left a year and a half ago. This i shwy their voices and opinions are so cruel and

In the book Girl, Interrupted, by Susanna Kaysen, one of the biggest focal points is mental illness. Mental illness can be tough to talk about, simply because the phrase “mental illness” encompasses such a wide range of conditions and conjures up images of deranged people, but it is very important, especially in this book. There is a certain stigma that people who are put into mental hospitals because they have medical problems or are insane and a possible danger to society. While this is sometimes true, it is far more common for patients to need help for a disorder, but just don’t know where to go or what to do, and can end up putting themselves or someone else in danger.

In the article from the New York Times, Fighting for Indonesia’s Mentally Ill, and Counting Toilets as Progress, it describes Indonesia's mental healthcare facilities in a almost disturbing way. The mentally ill patients there are treated like animals. They sleep on mats in cells filled with multiple other people. If they are not behaving and the unqualified nurses do not know what to do they will shock the patients or in severe cases chain them to a bar. This takes place because Indonesia is a developing country, unlike America which is a developed country, that has advanced in many areas but especially human rights.

Ken Kesey uses his novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, to describe the lives of patients in a mental institution, and their struggle to overcome the oppressive authority under which they are living. Told from the point of view of a supposedly mute schizophrenic, the novel also shines a light on the many disorders present in the patients, as well as how their illnesses affect their lives during a time when little known about these disorders, and when patients living with these illnesses were seen as an extreme threat. Chief Bromden, the narrator of the novel, has many mental illnesses, but he learns to accept himself and embrace his differences. Through the heroism introduced through Randle McMurphy, Chief becomes confident in himself, and is ultimately able to escape from the toxic environment Nurse Ratched has created on the ward. Chief has many disorders including schizophrenia, paranoia, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and, in addition to these illnesses, he pretends to be deaf and dumb.
