My Crazy Thoughts.

A.      The next day Jonah got married to Mona and became the President of San Lorenzo. On his way to get Papa’s blessing he learned that man was the only sacred thing to Bokononists. When he got to the castle he was a hook for Bokonon himself. While Frank and Jonah were wating to see Papa they met Dr. Vox Humana. Papa was in agonizing pain. Papa told Jonah to kill Bokonan and to tell him he was sorry he didn’t kill him. He wants the people to learn truths, not lies. Papa wanted the last rites done, but no one would confess to knowing them so Dr. Von Koenigswald said he would. Even after the rites Papa didn’t die. Jonah had to prepare a speech for the next day and had some guests come and help him. Jonah went to the bathroom and when he came out Dr. Schlichter Von Koenigswald said Papa had taken what was in the cylinder, ice-nine, and died. Dr. Von Koenigswald touched the “blue-white mystery” to his tongue and was dead, fell over, and shattered. Jonah called the three children of Dr. Hoenikker to the room. Newt puked. Frank gave Papa some ice-nine to buy himself a job, Angela used it to find love, and Newt bought himself a weekend with a Russian midget, meaning that the Soviet Union had it and so did the US. The fourteenth book of Bokonan was called “What Can a Thoughtful Man Hope For Mankind on Earth, Given the Experience of the Past Million Years? “ The only word in the chapter: “nothing” (245).
