Tha Fog

"Nobody complains about all the fog," no one else but me (128).  No one else can see it but my favorite book.  It's like when I'm reading the book "I can taste the splinters" of the pages.  The intense empathy that bromden feels is also transfered to me.  The book speaks to me on a whole other level.  The story itself, conceptually is amazing, and the characters are animated within my mind.  I also enjoy that Kesey blanced his own experiences with his imagination to provide for an interesting story.  Similarly, I feel as though mental illness is something that everyone fears.  The only difference is that I confront my fears while others fear to face fear.  Sometimes I feel as though our classroom models the book too, and I can relate to that.  I can relate to Bromden when the nurse, "stabs me again with both eyes as I go past her" (152).  Sometimes I feel like Ms. Serensky does that to me.  Other times I feel like I am in the fog when she says things like, "Jimmy's naked," becasue thats simply not true and I wonder if I am missing something. But one day I will be free of the chains that bind me to this school and I will escape the fog.
