Chapter 5

In chapter five Vonnegut discusses the differences between men and women and what they want. Vonnegut says men want pals to be with and women want people to talk to and when they get married each gain more pals or people to talk to through extended families. People haven't been having many children to have large extended families for each gender to get what they want and that's why divorces have been taking place Vonnegut says. He mentions that people will think its about money or power but it's really just about people to talk to in almost any situation.

Vonnegut brings his point from the men and women to the Germans and Anglos. This chapter compares these points during the entire chapter. Vonnegut says Germans and Anglos had a fault line between them and the girls family didn't appreciate him being German. The chapter finishes off with Vonnegut talking about the Germans and Anglos and why they had a dispute and how this girls family and the Anglos like to have control.

Picture and song

"Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my face after all"
That Joke isn't Funny Any more - The Smiths

The picture shows the best of nature. It shows nature with all it's colors and the wide variety of its different landscaped. Nature can someone's be a beautiful sight and others it can be very gloomy at other times. Natures everywhere and always surrounding us. It's a huge part in everything's life.

This song quote is a very strong one. It has emotions to it when you read it. It makes you think that was this man going through to have to say this? Was it something good in his life or something very bad. It makes people think of personal experiences and others. Was it just a joke to begin with or was it meant to be serious? It's a good quote to put views on. 

Chapter 4

In "A Man Without a Country" chapter four Vonnegut talks about the game of life. Vonnegut gives examples of people's success or failures in this chapter to summarize what life is all about. Vonnegut informs everyone that life's a game and the successful people have won it and the failures have lost it. The game thats played whoever has the most money in the end wins the game and whoever doesn't have enough loses. He gives the story of Adam and Eve as an example of how one was persuaded into eating the apple. Since one had eaten the apple both got in trouble from it. The game has choices to make to be successful and incidents can cause people to fail.

Vonnegut mentions a cigarette company that the owner had made billions of dollars on. The man that did this is obviously a winner in the game. This man is obviously a winner because he has the money to buy whatever he wants. Money is the key to winning the game. He then mentions substance abuse about drunks seeing pink elephants. These "drunks" have not won the game since they can't play the game without substances in the way.This chapter was one focusing on what life consists of and how it is a game and can be won or lost through making good or bad choices.

Question 2

Should we, as humans, value creations? Even bad ones?

As humans creations are what we strive on throughout our lives. Human lifespans range from one to one-hundred and ten years. Creations are what keep us motivated through our lifes because everything is a creation In a way. Without creations we would still be in there Stone Age since nothing would have been created. Every creation is an advance for everyone not just humans. Humans should value these creations more though since we can take action with the creation and evolve it.

Every creation has a good purpose. That means a bad creation does not exist since every creation is an advance in its own way. A human should value every creation because any and every creation can lead to an even more remarkable discovery. People say the atomic bomb was a bad decision to make but, since the atomic bomb further things have led off that to new creations. As humans we strive for creativity and new things to mess with in the future.
