Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle": Theme And Interpretation
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Interpretation is everything in Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle." How the author writes, how the characters are portrayed, how the reader deciphers the meaning -- it is all intertwined within interpretation. How does Vonnegut compel his readers to journey forth into his world so prone to distortion? Indeed, that is the primary attraction of "Cat's Cradle": the fact that it defies every nuance of reality that society has come to know. The writer discusses that in achieving this masterfully created image, the author utilizes a number of interpretational concepts to deter his audience from recognizing this as just another typical piece of science fiction. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Kurt Vonnegut/ Galapagos
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that examines Vonnegut's novel Galapagos. In this book, Vonnegut argues that the ultimate effect of humanity's sociological problems with technology, from weaponry to gene splicing, will be that nature will win in the long run by doing away with the root-source of the problem – humanity's large brain. The central point made by Vonnegut in this work is that the "great big brains" of humanity represent a gross evolutionary mistake. In arguing this idea, Vonnegut argues against virtually every technological development. No other sources cited.
