This seven word statement by Vonnegut's recurring character Kilgore Trout perfectly summarizes the message carried throughout Vonnegut's work. The upbringing of Vonnegut himself contributes to this lackluster view: he grew up amid the Depression. He watched his dad work himself to death as his mother courted suicide. He saw the massacre of innocents amid the firebombing of Dresden and became a prisoner of the Germans…

By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule— From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE—Out of TIME. Bottomless vales and boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods, With forms that no man can discover For the tears that drip all over; Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore;…

Vonnegut’s Ice-9 What if there existed a type of ice that could freeze anything within seconds of contact? A big plot driver in Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Cat’s Cradle is the made-up bio-weapon called Ice-9 which does exactly that. When Dr. Asa Breed says, “When it [the rain] fell, it would freeze into hard little hobnails of ice-nine—and that would be the end of the world!” he clearly shows how dangerous this weapon is to the entire world (Vonnegut 50). It’s very existence would be a bigger threat…

gridlock as either not effecting the passage of important laws or that it improves the quality of legislation that happens to pass. Mayhew has generated a massive amount of research where he concludes “that divided government, and increased polarization and partisanship, have not decreased the passage of “important legislation by Congress.” While Rawls’ ideology centers on his theory of the benefit of the bipartisan gear, which provides for a slow and heavily contested progress protects the…

During the nuclear age, humankind's collective existence was under the constant threat of unfathomable power, consequently presenting not only humankind's frailty but also the uselessness of their position.

Through the Sights Everyone handles pressure differently. Some people get shaky and unorganized while others use pressure to fuel their performance. Competitive shooting has been my passion for years and my match at the 2016 Junior Olympic Rifle Competition in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is my most memorable experience.
