Vonneguts title A Man Without A Country.

The question is why did Vonnegut choose to title his book "A Man Without A Country". After reading  "A Man Without A Country" I realized the title didn't have anything to do with the book. The book is about Vonneguts thoughts on society and a summary of his life. Vonnegut chose this title because he doesn't believe he is part of a country. Vonnegut is in his own social bubble that few other people have the same intellectual thoughts.

Vonnegut hated most of society it seemed. "We are here to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different". Vonnegut also had a strange sense of humor also. It seemed he was lonely and thought he was alone on whatever he was trying to portray with his life. I'm not actually sure why he chose the title and I can't really think how it would match up to the book. A better title would've seemed to be a life story of Vonnegut.

Who do you want to be when you grow up?

When people grow older they gain knowledge that they could not gain as a kid. As I grow older I understand the meaning of life more than I ever have. Life is a game that gives you just one life to live and it's up to you to make it count. When I grow older I want to live on a house with miles of land to do whatever I please on. I want to grow up with my friends that I have now. I want to be the man that helps people and volunteers at the local fire station, the man with the nice classic cars, even the man that doesn't take nonsense from people and will make them eat dirt if they mess with him. I want to be respected when I'm older. I want people to know me as the nice guy that handles situations when there needed to be handled.

The way I plan on making this happen is by going through college and getting a job that pays good money. After I would like to move into my home with lots of land around it. I would go to the local markets and just live life as a good man. I would help people that needed help and I would get the locals to respect me. The plan is a good one that should work with ease. I want to live in a small town so the people can get to know me easier.

Semester two

Semester two I'm expecting to stay on my medicine to where I get all my work done. I want to pass all my classes with a 3.0 to where I can get into a good college. I plan on trying a little bit harder than I did the first semester. Not too hard though that I have stress over school. I'll try but just to the extent of getting b's but in reality that's probably not gonna happen.

I hope we get less work for the second semester to where it will be easier to pass. An the second semester has been heading though that isn't going to happen. This school seems like a summer camp of just fun but I got to get it through my head that I have to be serious about it. This semester I'm gonna stay on my medicine the entire time once I get more of it to where I can concentrate. School is a huge struggle when I'm off of it and I strongly dislike it. 

Semester One

Semester one was a lot better than what I had thought it would be. There wasn't as much work and all my teachers turned out to be very nice which I enjoy. There was a good amount of work though for the first semester. It was much more fun though then I had imagined it to be. I did decent in all of my classes and didn't fail most of them which is an accomplishment.

In most of the classes we worked on the basics and set up for the second semester. All the work we did the first semester was to prepare for the second so it would be easier. All the work though seems to not match and is still pretty difficult for me. I try in the classes but just cannot comprehend most of the work we have to do. I think it would be easier if we had less work for each class. Since we have a good amount of classes it would be easier if we had less work per each.

Walt Whitman compare to Vonnegut

In Walt Whitman's poem "I hear America Singing" Whitman talks about how Americans go throughout there jobs doing there everyday tasks. Whitman describes casual American jobs and says they are all singing there song for there job. At the end of the poem Whitman mentions that everyone of the workers songs are melodious and strong. Americans are great, strong people according to Whitman. Whitman likes America and the people and how they do there everyday jobs happily.

In Vonneguts book "A Man Without a Country" Vonnegut talks about how Americans are harsh people that are frowned upon by other countries. Vonnegut mentions how America steals from the poor and how soldiers are just being used. The soldiers are the people who protect our government and the soldiers are frowned upon by the government for being lower class people. Vonnegut basically says Americas pathetic in what they do to there people. That's the reason they are frowned upon by other countries.

These two people have very different opinions on America. Whitman likes America and the people while Vonnegut hates America and thinks they are unreasonable people. It seems it's either you hate America or like it there isn't much in between in these two peoples opinions.
