My noodle

A.

As president of San Lorenzo Jonah has very much power.  He showed hesitance in the earlier chapters about taking the position but once he recieves the power, confidence comes.  I see a theme?  He starts talking of things he would like to change about San Lorenzo, and expressing ideas.  Pap dies of ice-nine and Jonah sees it for the first time.  He is also very upset that Mona doesn’t want to love just him…once again another theme.  Jonah talks of removing the hook.  They have to take care of the ice nine bodies, so Newt, Angela and Jonah do it.  He learns that Dr. Hoenikker, as well as his dog died from ice-nine too.  They go to watch a show where Mr. Minton gives a speech.  A plane crashes and ice nine gets in the oceans.  Mona and Jonah are safe in Pap’s bomb shelter, but everyone kills themselves including Mona.  There is really nothing left to live for, and the end of the world happened in seconds.

If Pap is Bokonist, why is it a banned religion?

Will Mona ever just love Jonah? What is love?

Does Jonah take down the hook?

Why, and what is the significance of Jonah wanting to climb the mountain?

Is there some sense of irony in the last couple chapters?

Is there any other connections with a “cats cradle?”
