"Cat's Cradle" Reading Circle- Part 1

Today was my first time to read a book as in "literal circle". I've never done this; dividing jobs for each person to read a book. It was actually quite fun. My job was to do research on the vocabularies. There was one word, "Nobel Prize", grabbed my attention after the reading circle. Mr. Carpenter brought up a idea said The reason why Nobel established this prize is because he felt regretful after the invention of gun powder. This is very similar to the Manhattan's Project, because people who were participated, actually also felt regretful after bombing Hiroshima. There was also another foreshadowing on the first page. The narrator called himself "Jonah". It is a Christian name. I haven't really finished researching on the name, and making connections. But I will update it as soon as I find out. :)

Keep digging for clues to find the themes Vonnegut is sharing with us.

If I never read your post, I wouldn't know that Jonah is a Christian name. :) Now this clue made the story more mysterious.
