Themes to watch for

Based on our discussion today, and the information we took from the Preface, here is the list of themes we decided you can find in Welcome to the Monkey House. If you would like to suggest more themes during the course of your reading, feel free to do so as a comment on this post.

- "I am still very much Vonnegut"
- "stream called the Vonne"
- "All that borrowed meat"
- "Here I am cleaning shit off of practically everything"
- "No pain"
- no fan of MLA
- "reasonably funny"
- "I am committing suicide by cigarette"
- "series of narcissistic giggles"
- funny but still serious
- political awareness
- importance of science
- dystopian future

Be sure to read "Harrison Bergeron" for Friday.
