Which part of this excerpt from "The Euphio Question" represents Vonnegut's belief that "We are here on Earth to fart around," w

hich he stated in his autobiography A Man without a Country? But now that word is getting around and coming to your official notice, I might as well tell the story straight and pray to God that I can convince you that America doesn’t want what we discovered. I won't deny that all three of us—Lew Harrison, the radio announcer, Dr. Fred Bockman, the physicist, and myself, a sociology professor—found peace of mind.We did. And I won't say it’s wrong for people to seek peace of mind. But if somebody thinks he wants peace of mind the way we found it, he'd be well advised to seek coronary thrombosis instead. Lew, Fred and I found peace of mind by sitting in easy chairs and turning on a gadget the size of a table-model television set. No herbs, no golden rule, no muscle control, no sticking our noses in other people’s troubles to forget our own; no hobbies, Taoism, push-ups or contemplation of a lotus . . . The gadget is, I think, what a lot of people vaguely foresaw as the crowning achievement of civilization: an electronic something-or-other, cheap, easily mass-produced, that can, at the flick of a switch, provide tranquility. I see you have one here.

In your journal, write a note to Jo encouraging her as she deals with Beth’s illness. Use details from the story to help her see
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Dearest Jo,

              Beth getting sick is not your fault. (place quote here about how Beth got sick) Scarlet fever is very easy to get and tough too get rid of. Beth's illness may be the answer to her problems. I'm not saying this in a mean way dearest Jo. No. But Beth has always been so afraid to grow older and to get married. She may have prayed for something to happen to cause her to fall ill. She loves being inside and playing with her piano. Now that she has this illness, she is happy because she is stuck doing the things she loves. (I will leave the rest of the note to you!)

                                                                     Yours forever,

                                                                                      (Your name)

I'm just so ANGRY AND CONFUSED UGH Id k whAt to do ik i need to just move on but like f the things he said when he ended it f-g
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Thats why ya gotta wait. Cuz you WILL get hurt if you dont desire to wait or you wait for a little bit and then stop waiting after that.

Explanation:

"good things come to those who wait" is the truest thing I've ever heard and it's the truth.

You can give up if you wish but I say keep walking up the hill until you reach the top. Instead of searching and doing all the work just for them do your own thing and work on yourself and become happy with yourself first as you wait for them to come to you instead so then you'll be guarded by your secure walls first. That way if your future guy talks with another girl you wont be insecure and have everything on the ground at your feet. Positive energy attracks good positive energied people.

Stay away from toxic people who like to minipulate, lie a lot, have a victim personality etc. Even if they are nice from the start. Examine them, study them while you hang out with them and protect yourself from them if you still decide to befriend them. Don't give them info on yourself etc.

In my honest opinion I think you are handling this well.. it hurts but you havent gotten or begged him to get back with ya. That's all that matters. You are doing great. Keep it up. I'm proud of you. Keep that strong mentality and keep pushing forward.
