cat's cradle.

Alrighty. So....so far Cat's Cradle has been an interesting read. I like how each book gets more and more interesting. thank you Dominguez for choosing interesting books. Okay. now time to get to business....
So so far the sense of meaning from this book that i have understood is that peeople come from different backgrounds and the way they are brought up effects like their attitude/perspective on life and such. like remember that lady that wanted the dog house."the lady claimed to understand God and His Ways of Working perfectly. She could not understand why understand why anyone be puzzled about what had been or about what was going to be." yet somehow that lady was not able to comprehend something as simple (in regards to the world's greatest mysteries that she claims to have answers to) as a blueprint. really lady?? way to be a hypocrite. kudos to you.
i think the way this whole shin dig relates to the concepts of postmodernism is because of the quest of knowledge. the more you go in search for it the more and more you don't know. you loose sense, in a way, of believing those narratives because you want to discover the "truth" though it's much more complicated than saying the reason for thunderstorms is because God is mad at all the humans who make stupid decisions and leaving it at that. i think the easiest and most obvious example of this is when the father is playing around with the string and making a cat's cradle (do you make a cat's cradle or do you play it???)
i honestly think that this quest for knowledge strips away the essential characterisitcs that make a human...well....a human. of course i'm referring to emotions. every human has emotions; some are just more emotional than others. and like we all know the difference between right and wrong and what's a "sin" and what not unlike felix whats-his-face who states "what is a sin?" another example is when frank is "experimenting" with bugs and making them fight. alrighty. i forgot what i was going to write about this example. so i'm just to going to stop for now. and edit this later and finish.
