Cats Cradle

There is a lot of post modern examples in Cats Cradle. We may not be able to find all of them, but there is still a lot in the book that we can find. The many examples he talks about in the book are very different from today's view of things. The book in a way really has no meaning I don not think. Its like the meaning of the book gives the book itself no. Throughout the book some chapters and sayings are hard to find. The meaning of the sayings and chapters sometimes make you think is there really a meaning at all. Like in the book it says “Jesus is my hero” when the book has like a meaning of starising religion but not really religion more like saterising anything that people think could lead them to an ultimate truth, and maybe he is even saying Jesus is his hero just because he is such a religious figure and gives so much power to people that he is kinda jealous of him. Although I do not know if they even new who he Jesus really is. They might not know the real meaning if Jesus and being a hero. But I am not really sure, because today in our sacratic circle people talked about how he may not mean it when he says “Jesus us my hero”, you never know. And really maybe there is no meaning at all maybe it is just a curve ball thrown into the book to mess up the meaning for some and not for others of something. Although he could have wrote the book and had ment to put in a meaning. Maybe he just wrote random things. Or we just do not look deep enough into the text to understand the meaning.
