ok, in all honesty, *and this is a spoiler if anyone cares to note*. In the end the leader of this political cult basically commits suicide the same way one of his disciples does! Not to mention the countless times where Ice-9 was basical destroying the earth, yet everyone simply looks at it as beautiful! I do not believe that social structures would act this way! I will say one thing that I do agree with about this work though, it wasn't about the cat or the cradle at all.Drewsov wrote:I respect your opinion on Cat's Cradle, Darth, but I would suggest reading more of Vonnegut, or at least understand his work to a greater degree, before making blanket statements about such an amazing and influential author.
however, I'm totally willing to read more Vonnegut, but only because I'm not so willing to judge him based on the misadventures of Cat's Cradle. And we've had a lot of dystopian readings this quarter anyways so I really just wanted to take it all out on one of them. This would definately be a prime candidate.
