Summary

Right before Dr. Felix Hoenikker’s death he was trying to destroy the ice-nine in his kitchen. The dog licked the ice-nine and was frozen stiff and put him in the oven because they didn’t know what else to do. AH! A plane blew up and then a rock slide wiping out  tower of papa’s castle and down with it it took the Minton’s. The golden raft was sent to the sea and the world was to end as the sea turned to ice-nine. But Jonah and Mona escaped to a bomb shelter made by Papa. They found people that killed themselves with ice-nine in a clearing and a note from Bokonon himself. Mona killed herself as well. Bokonon wrote his last words of the Books of Bokonon.

Questions

1. They say that his father was stiff too, does that mean that his father died from the ice-nine too are he was just stiff from being dead?

2. Why were the Minton’s waving and not scanvenging to get to safety?

3. Why did Mona find this comical? I don’t think wanting someone back alive would have anything to do with wanting them dead.
