Cats Cradle Postmodernism

Cats Cradle is a book that shows and has details that it is a post modernism novel. It shows a religion called Bokonism  and it demonstrates religion and post modernism if you closely read the text. So far into the text of Cats Cradle there is no meaning thus far which is a post modernism text book. Post modernism was found during the 18th century, and it was a movement that tried to delete modernism.  Post modernism does not essentially have a rounded center on it and has no one controlling source which it originates from. The Cat’s Cradle specifically used the example of Bokonism to show that the book is indeed post modernism.The founder of Bokononism was Lionel Boyd Johnson, whose name was corrupted by the island dialect and later become Bokonon. Bokononism contains the postmodernist misreading, combination and anarchy at once. Bokonism has a book and the text shows "All of the true things that I am to tell you are shameless lies." Vonecut's opinion on religion is actually drawn out that people always have a way to try to find some special thing to believe in. "Truth was the enemy of the people, because the truth was so terrible, so Bokonon made it his business to provide the people with better and better lies." so by deleting the false statements and the lies that the society displayed, they become very powerful. The characters in Cat’s Cradle who came up with Post modernism came to believe that science is the power in everything which can also be shown in a movie known as (Angels and Demons), science dominates the society also religion plays a big part in todays society. Obviously, these ideas of post modernism came from the scientist in the book. They intend to delude the people in the book by using these ideas. So while I was reading this book, I came to a conclusion that all of the books that we have read as a class have some ideal relationship to all the other books with religion and society. It seems rather boring and we suspect the same essay topic over and over again, but that is my opinion.

Brave New World Topic

There are many arguments to discuss about in this novel Brave New World. For my argument I would have to state that in Brave New World they manipulate the children as well as the adults in this society. The video that Sir Ken Robinson made on youtube gave any details and points on the society of today children based on the education that we are given. Not only that but there are all of these distractions that practically brainwash the children in todays era. Another comparison to Brave New World would be George Orwell's novel 1984. In Sir Ken Robinson's video he explains that the children are all based and related upon each other is because of their age group. This connects with Brave New World because the people in Brave New Worlds society are born in a certain manufactured way, not only that but they are manipulated to learn very certain things. They are also manipulated to do certain things, they are built for a specific job in Brand New World, their destiny is basically chosen for them once they are born.
In 1984 by George Orwell's there are also connections to Brave New World, they control people but in a different manner. Brave New World would conquer the people but in a pleasuring manner, and 1984 has agony and pain written all over it. In 1984 their society is based upon history and they change the ways of the humans living in their time era. They kept the people like that so it can be an organized society so they wouldn't have to worry about people being themselves. From the start of the day to the end of the day they are under complete surveillance and if they utterly disobey the rules they are instantly vanished away. Both of these video and book make excellent connections and parallels to Brave New World.

In the video Sir Ken Robinson explains his theories on changing the education, by doing so he attracts the audience with detailed illustrations that clear his point easier. There are ways in fact that there are similarities to the society of Shakespeare's last novel Brave New World. The video and the novel go hand to hand, they are both based on society and the nature of human beings. In chapter 10 there is a quote that can briefly support what Sir Ken Robinson is explaining."The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray. It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted. Consider the matter dispassionately, Mr. Foster, and you will see that no offense is so heinous as unorthodoxy of behavior. Murder kills only the individual-and, after all, what is an individual?". In the beginning of the video Sir Ken Robinson explains in the first minute that cultural is one of the keys, we should all form together and build a stronger education base for the future sakes of our children's children. The quote from chapter 10 questions what are individuals considering the fact that The Brave New World is a community based society. This is all based upon globalization and coming together as a unity. Sir Ken Robinson also explains that they used better methods during their education years, so it back tracks time like the book setting. The last key point was the age group of the students, he gives details how they are "organized based on factory lines" and they are put in "batches" like a community. Brave New World has a very similar structure of community like this RSA Animate video.
