Slaughterhouse 5

For my final AP English novel, I chose Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut. Several years ago I read Cat's Cradle (another vonnegut book) but sophomore english and really enjoyed it. So, this being his other classic, I figured it would be a good choice. Also, I knew it was a war book, focusing on the Dresden fire bombings, and though I have always had a ww2 interest, I know next to nothing about Dresden.

So far I am about 1/4 of the way through the book, and at this point do not know which direction my paper will lead. The story has been interesting, but the 1st chapter was written in Vonnegut's voice, recapping his life and slowly introducing the maine story, so it took a while to get used to his style. Also, once the actual story starts, it skips around the timeline almost like the first section of The Sound and The Fury. There could probably be a good comparison drawn between the two. A huge difference though is that Vonnegut's writing one can make sense of haha.

It should be interesting. I expect to finish in the next week or so.

My name is Yon Yonson
I come from Wisconsin
I work in a lumber mill there
The people I meet
When I walk down the street
They ask me my name and I say
My name is Yon Yonson, I come from Wisconsin
