See the Cat... See the Cradle...

I think this book is interesting-ish a lot more easier to read then BNW hmm I wonder why is there so many pages that pretty much equal to all the chapters.  You can tell there is a lot of postmodernist ideas in it.  To get started  postmodernism is of or relating to art, architecture, or literature that reacts against earlier modernist principles, as by reintroducing traditional or classical elements of style or by carrying modernist styles or practices to extremes; largely a reaction to the assumed certainty of scientific, or objective, efforts to explain reality.  In the beginning of the book it already tells us that "nothing in this book is true".  By stating that first we can already tell that postmodern ideas will be generated through this, because in a modern society everything that is stated would have to be structure in an original way such as reality and truth.  Furthermore when Newt continues on and says "See the cat?  See the cradle?"  This proves in Cat's Cradle the game that there really is nothing because you really don't see a cat or a cradle, leading them to believe that there really is no truth to anything in there society.  Which leads into the character Jonah who "was a Christian then" (1) making Christianity the center or grand narrative, however he continues on "I am a Bokonoist now.  I would have been a Bokonist then, if there had been anyone to teach me the bittersweet lies of Bokonon" (2).  Bokonon is now considered his "center" without really "discovering what they are doing".  Postmodernism is present once again through this because their religion does not really have an actual purpose they're rules that are stated everyday to keep the people going without really knowing what is to be done.  If that makes sense.  All in all there are a lot of other places in the book that we can use to show there is postmoderism in it.
