Empty TV Screen
At the end of the chapter, a revolution occurs where Nurse Ratched is overruled by the patients. When they all rebel against her tasks she assigns them, it becomes apparent that they have truly begun to change the ward. When Chief observes this scene, he becomes overwhelmed by satisfaction: '''Mr. Harding! You return to your scheduled duties!' I think how her voice sounds like it hit a nail, and this strikes me so funny I almost laugh" (138). This scene exemplifies how the machine-like composure of Nurse Ratched has truly been shaken up, and how Chief is finally coming out of his shell, given he almost laughed out loud.

I agree with Sara in that Mac is ruiting for the entire ward to be uprised by the obvious mistreatment they have faced. When he fights for the right to watch the World Series, it's almost like underneath it all he's fighting for justice and better treatment of the patients, and baseball has nothing to do with it.
