Melanie Feliciano Lyon Kressner Analysis Paper ANALYSIS ON CATS CRADLE: BOKONON AND ITS FALSE HELP In the novel Cat’s Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut, Bokonon is a religion created to “protect” people from their own lives. It is said that people need something to believe in, something to cast their eyes on when all else fails, Bokonon is that belief system. In the Novel, the dedication page acknowledges a quote from “The Books of Bokonon”, which says “Live by the foma that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy.” Upon looking at the asterisk provided next to the word “foma” it showed that it meant “harmless untruths”. This begins to let you into the world of Bokonon.
