Cat's Craddle Intro

Cat’s Cradle starts of as a book that is very weird just as Postmodernism is super weird also. I states that John. The narrator started writing this book the day that the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and that it changed his religious view. He turned to the religion of Bokononism. Now this sounds like the strangest religion I have ever heard. The basic way that they view the world tends to make sense by the fact that they believe that the world works in groups to their way of survival. For instance, there are many different social groups I this world, otherwise known as “discourses”, that join as one in business and in other means as a family. The thing I show some discomfort to in their belief system not directing everything back to God. And it kind of makes me a little upset when they say that John converted from Christianity to being a Bokononists. But I guess it does say in the prelude of this book that “none of this is true.” That made me feel a little more comfortable when I went to start reading the book and I think that it will be very humorous and I will not take them the wrong way.
In the book of the Bokonon it states that everything was “meant to happen.” So therefore, they believe that they are living for the “will” of God rather than surrendering their life to him and pleasing him in every way, shape, or form. They have the wrong mindset going into it and I believe that nothing will ever be accomplished if they do things the same way that they are. The way that the Bokononists view life is confusing and it seems like it will always keep the reader occupied and thinking just like the book Postmodernism does. It creates illusions to the reader and there is never a dull moment that would cause the reader to slip away from the real purpose the authors or narrators are trying to persuade.
