Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonngut Blog #11 (200-220)

Johan is told that can become the next president of San Lorenzo for $100,000 a year.  They also say that nobody wants to be the president of the island. It is also said that whoever became the next president would marry Mona. First why would they not want to become president of the island? Being the president is like a job since there is pay and they are not elected but just asked if they wanted to become or not. I would love to become a president since I could do almost whatever I wanted and it would be like getting free money since they didn’t really have anything needed to be done. I think that Mona loves everybody on the island and would be happy to marry anybody. i would not want  to marry a wife who loved everybody and would care about them more than me.
