Write a letter from Chief explaining your actions at the end of the film and your motivations for them. What happened to you after you left?



William Gitlin
Someone living but not living life is two different concepts. When someone is just living they are alive but cant experience or have emotions to the same extent as someone who is living life. Someone who is living life actually has emotions and can think for themselves and what they believe in. One night when I was sleeping, my good friend, Randall McMurphy had come into the room with a state of mind I had never seen him before. He was emotionless, which was unusual for someone of his character who has always been screaming and yelling. When the two men put him down and slowly paced off down the hallway, I glanced over at Randall. Randall looked like in this case as if he was just living. I walked over to him with no hesitation of what could be the outcome of this situation. As I slowly lifted his head off the crisp white pillow, his head flopped back as if he was unconscious. His eyes were open and he had no reactions to my action of lifting his head off the pillow. At that moment I realized that this was no way of life for my good friend and my only friend I had ever had in the insane asylum. I grasped his pillow from under his head and tightly pushed it against his face. There were no sounds that had been yelped out by Randall, instead his arms and legs were flailing around, trying to get a break of air. Suddenly moment had stopped and Randall had been suffocated to death. It was the best way for him to go and I knew if Randall were alive he would have wanted me to end his life if he was in a condition like that. I then walked over to the bathroom and took the waterspout connection to the ground; and with all my force I hulled the spout off the ground and carried it over to the window. I threw the big waterspout at the window, which caused the giant window to shatter, giving me the opportunity to escape. As I took my first step outside of the insane asylum, I felt like a new man, and a free one. Randall would have wanted me to escape and if he were alive he would be right next to me running away. I pursued the dream that Randall wanted to have, which was drive to Canada after he escaped.
