I.  The Creation.

I started reading slaughterhouse- five last night and it really caught my attention. I’m really into history and when I saw the word “Dresden” and “war” it really caught my eye.

A person’s past is key for anyone to get to know someone and understand them, and what they have become, how the portray themselves and their lives. Billy Pilgrim starts to talk about how he has become “an old fart” and wants to make a book about the war and his memories. To accomplish his goal, he wants to talk to an old friend (Bernard V. O’Hare) this way he can refresh his mind towards what happened to them in the war.

I happen to notice some interesting word and how Billy Pilgrim’s tone is expressed, here are a few quotes:

“He doesn’t mind the smell of mustard gas and roses.”

-Why does he refer to the “bad smell” in this way? –

Here is a more interesting quote referring to his tone:

“My God- from whom?”

“Miss So-and-So.”

And the most interesting quote I saw was this one:

“This one is a failure, and had to be, since it was written by a pillar of salt.”

-  He, like Lots wife, looked. He now shows the readers it has made him a pillar of salt. -
