YO! cat's cradle! :)

BLOG TIME!

Cat’s Cradle!!!!

J

OK!!

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut seems like a pretty interesting and funny BOOK! J Although in the beginning it might seem to be boring but as you read on, you begin to understand it and have a laugh or two (LoL)! One of the parts that I thought was funny is….”The lady claimed to understand God and His ways of working perfectly. She could not understand why anyone should b puzzled about what had been or about what was going to be. And yet, when u showed her a blueprint of the doghouse I proposed to build, she said to me, I’m sorry, but I never could read one of those things” (Vonnegut, 4).When I read this I thought to myself what a WERID lady… she can understand everything else in this world…galaxy but not a simple picture of a doghouse. This kind of relates to postmodernism you can say… by everyone has his or her point of views some think they know everything awhile others don’t care.

J Moving on

“Anyway, Father looked at that loop of string for a while, and then his fingers started playing with it. His fingers made the string figure called a cat’s cradle.” Cat’s cradle is an unending game just like monopoly. A group can play monopoly up to four to five hours and it can be no where near the end…. trust me I know this. As we get into the game we find ways and strategies to get most of properties as we can… taking a simple game such as monopoly or cat‘s cradle we turn it into a more complex and time consuming game. In other words, we just try to make wise choices so that the simplest things don’t turn into the most complex ones!

Ummm

Hopefully you enjoyed this blog???

  2. Ok so just a side note... I am not a fan of writing comments on people's blogs anymore, I mean it used to be interesting but now I do not know maybe I just want to be done with school!! Senioritis!!! Ha ha
    Anyways, I thought your blog was interesting because I liked the way you tied in monopoly with the Cats Cradle. Alright...about that lady, I agree that she is weird and I too think that Postmodernism is similar to this. (I wrote about the same thing). On another note, I am a little confused with what the book is talking about right now because each chapter, seems to me anyway, is a different topic than the chapter before, making it difficult for me to understand. But, what I have gotten from the book is that it ties in many of the books that we have read. For instance, postmodernism, which we already explained is very similar to cats cradle. OK well I am about done and I don’t think I wrote this very good but hopefully you aren’t bummed when you read this horrible comment! 

  3. Nice nice nice....haha GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE ;) .. so i like I like. Simple but yet you get to the point and i do very much so agree with Courtney how you related cat's cradle with monopoly that is so interesting and i never thought of it that way...u know. So um. i like this one to here when you mentioned "by everyone has his or her point of views some think they know everything awhile others don’t care." I'm one of those people who don't care..lol hahaha jk. So listen.. i agree how you say we humans try to make the simplest choices and if we didn't then life would be more difficult than it is. I cease to recognize the simplest things sometimes...but you know me..i have my blonde moments hahaha,...k grl im tired so im going to end this by saying...
    Good morning
    Good evening
    ...Goodnight :)
