I'm supposed to be discussing how The Cat's Cradle has both a utopian and a dystopian society in it. I don't see how it has either. Anyone who has any idea about the subject please let me know!!!! Also if anyone has any good quotes from the book that pertain to the theme or style of the book I'd appreciate it. I'm horrible at picking quotes.

its Utopian because by day its like this wonderful place, there is all kinds of fruit growing on the trees and its always ripe. as the book says "the water flowed like wine and there was a scent of milk and honey in the air" this is Representative of man desire to live in a perfect place ... a utopia.
The dystopian part is when it gets dark when most people are asleep it changes to a "evil" place. evil cat people kill who ever is no asleep and out on the street with AK-47s (AKs were made by the soviet union who was Americas enemy at the time. it represents the evil of communist society). instead of fruit on the trees, dead babies grow. the water flows like blood and there is the stench of death and rot in the air.
hope this helps.

Once the natives have Bokononism they are perfectly happy - despite the outward reality - "life became a work of art." Under Castle Sugar the island was a dystopian hell. After the ice-9 mishap, a new society is developed where everyone has their place and is seemingly happy - but Bokonon dies, "thumbing his nose at you know who."

"Science has now known sin." The atomic bomb was pure sin. The most destructive evil ever created.
The "nothing in this book is true." Science destroyed eveything and there was "nothing" left.
