Asked by Wiki User

McMurphy rebels against the system and against one person in particular, Nurse Ratched. After a series of incidents and escapades which results in McMurphy assaulting Ratched after her bullying causes a patient to commit suicide, McMurphy is dragged off by orderlies. He then reappears as a vegetable, having been forced to undergo a lobotomy.
Bromden realises that if the other patients see McMurphy in this state that Ratched will have defeated him and succeeded in demoralizing the other patients who were only beginning to assert themselves as men because of McMurphy's influence.

In jack and Jill nursery rhyme What it mean Jill laugh at jack after his mom fix head with vinegar and brown paper?

Or, it could be a political or social commentary. When nursery rhymes originated, most people did not read and write, and books and newspapers were of little use to them. However, people were very clever. They made up rhymes to say to their young children which were really a way to avoid trouble with authorities or the better social classes while voicing their distrust, disgust, or other negative opinions of them. This is the reason that some nursery rhymes may not seem child friendly.
