Galapagos
A. After I read Galapagos, I thought it was a good story. It was a little different from other novels I have read in that the author, Kurt Vonnegut, had a different style than most other authors. I liked how he made comments about humans' "big brains" that always gave them foolish or reckless ideas that almost always had negative results. The way he showed how a world changed because people no longer thought that paper money was valuable provoked many thoughts about how something like that could actually happen. B. I saw myself a few times throughout the book. For example, I saw myself in Mandarax; always a source of some information, none of which is of use to most people. Mandarax would always have something to say under any circumstance, but usually what it said had nothing to do with what was going on. Much like an internet search engine, you give it a bit of information and in return you get a whole lot of nothing. I also saw myself in Leon Trout.

Blind to the world they live in. Animals showed up on the island sometime. The society of the book was the same as society is today. They now live to stay alive and to reproduce. It reminded me of when I was stranded on an island and ate blue footed boobies to survive. He seemed to develop eachcharacter separately to make it very easy to understand who was who and what was going on. 5-It stays valuable because the weaker nations look at them like they are Gods. Darwin came up with the law of natural selection which ended up making those great big brains shrink and for humans to develop flippers. He was a con man who married rich women, stole all of their money, and then left them. This book will forever make me know that our brains can and probably will turn on us and that we will have to follow our heart into making the right decision. Theme and Other Abstract Ideas A. Kurt Vonnegut's style is different from any other authors' I have read.
