"All the things I am about to tell you are shameless lies." So begins the Books of Bokonon. Bokononism is an original religion that is introduced in this book, Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. The book shows the importance of religion, even if that religion is "shameless lies". It also displays how people convince themselves that things are better then they really are. I read this book because of a promise I made to my father. I'm glad I made that promise; I just read a delightfully funny and deep tale about the end of the world.

Most cat owners are troubled due to loud crying of their pets in the middle of the night. This has been a common and certainly an annoying behavior of cats particularly, those older ones. Cats often cry because they seek attention from their owners and they want to be reassured that they are not being left alone. Cats’ meow during daytime is natural, but when it cries at night, it seems more demanding and disturbing to cat owners. There are reasons why cats behave this way. It can be due to changes in the surroundings or due to transfer from one house to another. It may take some time for them to fully adjust. Cat owners need to understand this behavior carefully, and find ways to minimize problems on cat’s meowing habit.

Poe is famous for his American Gothic horror tales such as the Tell-Tale Heart and the Fall of the House of Usher. “The Black Cat is Poe’s second psychological study of domestic violence and guilt.

1. What were the most critical choices faced by James Milmo early in the founding of Lynx? Do you agree with his decisions?

The Kitty Genovese story is a tragic one and is a controversial topic when ethics come into play. Though she screamed for help repeatedly while being stabbed the observers from the surrounding apartments did very little to assist the young woman. One observer in specific did shout “Leave the girl alone” and that deterred the assailant for a brief moment but whether or not he acted ethically is something of a different matter. According to Duty-Base Ethics which by definition states “the doctrine that actions are morally correct if they comply with existing obligations owed another and ourselves,” one could deduct that this observer did not act

As an author, Kurt Vonnegut has received just about every kind of praise an author can receive: his works held the same sway over American philosophy as did those of Jack Kerouac or J.R.R. Tolkein; his writing has received acclaim from academics and the masses alike; and three of his books have been made into feature films. Society has permanently and noticeably been altered by his writing. Through accessible language and easily-understood themes, Vonnegut has created works subtle, engrossing, and familiar. His main method for doing this is by exploiting a theme with which everyone is familiar and about which everyone has his own opinion: religion.

The Great Cat Massacre: And Other Episodes in French Cultural History. First Edition. Robert Darnton. New York: Basic Books, 1999 XIII + 298.

Overall, the argument of The Great Cat Massacre was that a historian could use the writings of a particular point in history to determine the psychology of the people of that time. In this case, it was of the French people in the decades before the French Revolution.

The truth is that there is no way of knowing what is history and what is Darnton’s perception of history. Like Davis, Darnton ran the fine line of telling history as it was, and using that history to support his own beliefs and opinions, and the critics, as before, had a problem with this practice.

In the inky abyssal darkness of the pre-dawn horizon, the eerie silence of the still sleeping world was distributed only by the soft sound of a knife digging into wood that emitted from a pitch black wood and brick home, which sat upon a towering hill that overlooked a sprawling town that lay still as it slumbered.
