Cat’s Cradle Chap 4-6
A: in this section Jonah talks more in depth about his karass. He informs us that Dr. Honneiker, the father of the atom bomb, as well as his own children are a member of Jonah’s karass. To continue his research Jonah decides to write a letter to Newt Honnieker. Newt is pledging a fraternity to which Jonah belonged. Newt replies to this letter with an interesting insight into the Dr.’s family and research. Jonah learns about the other Honnieker children as well. From this letter we know that Dr. Honnieker is a very peculiar man. The most vivid story is of Dr. H playing with a Cat’s Cradle in front of Newt. Newt becomes scared and runs away. The description of the doctor is frightening and the story that ensues is comical. Newt’s letter is interrupted by his roommates sleep schedule but as a whole is very important information wise to the book.
