God bless you mr. rosewater
The novel God Bless You, Mr.Rosewater takes place in the 1960's in Rosewater County, Indiana. The plot of the book revolves around a large sum of money ($87,472,033.61) that is the core of The Rosewater Foundation. The Rosewater Foundation is a huge company, corporation that owns and runs all sorts of buisnesses from motels,breweries, banks, farms, coalmines, and bowling allies. The corporation has been handed down generation after generation to the closest living relative of the creator Senator Lister Ames Rosewater. All officers were for life, unless proven insane. The income is tremendous, nearly $10,000 a day. The most recent inheritor of this foundation is Eliot Rosewater. Eliot is quite an interesting character. Eliot is a compassionate human being, he has love for those who are poor and less fortunate. He devoted hisself to a poor town in Rosewater County to all the criminal, prostitutes, and dealers there.

He is in the middle of a divorce with his wife Sylvia. Norman Mushari, a graduate of Cornell law School, works for a firm th

The book carried my interest because of its peculiarness. I wondered about where this was going? or What is this man thinking? I think that the book gave a humerous approach to the political views of Vonnegut. I think he was trying to get his point across against the capitalist society we live in , or he lived in. It showed how he was against those very rich people "dipping in the river of wealth" while so many " can't even get near the banks." He took the long, creative, and imaginative way around getting his point across. Despite that you couldn't follow all the characters different lives and how they tied in together the book was awesome. You have to appreciate Vonnegut and his different way of looking and the human race. I enjoyed reading this book. at had designed both the Foundation and Corporation. Norman decides that he will find a way for him to get his hands on these millions, by proving that Eliot is insa
