A. Gathering information before you begin working helps answer any questions you may have when you are working. Also, it helps explain what things are, how they work, how to use them, etc. It all depends on your research.
I hope this helps:)
1. When McMurphy is trying to pull him out of the fog, he realzes that he's not deaf, he started acting like that, because people thought he was too dumb to hear or understand all the thing they were saying, that reveals too why he was so oppressed and hasn't recovered.
2. Chief Bromden is the narrator of the story, he's an obsever since he is deaf and can't talk, he listened all that the people said, but this description of the fog is important because it allow us to understand the state of mind the patients had from Bromden's point of view and according to him, was produced by Nurse Ratched with her strict, mind-numbing routines and humiliating treatment. The character that takes all the patients out of the fog (the oppresion and incapability to recover and be sane aganin) is McMurphy.
One of the first hints we can find about gods in Nectar in a Sieve is found in Chapter 3, when Rukmani talks about the difficulties her and her partner, Nathan, have to conceive a child. In her visit to her mother, who is a very spiritual person, Rukmani criticizes the god's willingness to help human beings:
"My mother, whenever I paid her a visit, would make me accompany her to a temple, and together we would pray and pray before the deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven. And so the years rolled by and still we had only one child, and that a daughter."
Another example of Rukmani's reference to gods, is found in her description of her youngest son's health condition, as well as her struggling to help him. This can be found in Chapter 16:
"I gazed at the small tired face, soothed by sleep as it had not been for many nights, and even as I puzzled about the change, profound gratitude flooded through me, and it seemed to me that the Gods were not remote, not unheedful, since they had heard his cries and stilled them as if by a miracle."
I am so sorry! it kept saying I had a link or inappropriate behavior, so i just took a screenshot on a word doc.
