    1,267 words
    Description of this essay: Slaughter House five Could theirs be the ideal society? It's quite possible. Vonnegut's portrayal of the extraterrestrials known as Tralfamadorians is nothing short of amazing. Their knowledge, insight, and beliefs are both stunning and thought-provoking. To be quite honest, it was the only element of the story that grasped and kept my attention. Who would have thought that upon opening a book titled Slaughter House-Five that they would have been greeted by aliens rese...

They stood there quietly in the cold. The sheds they were among were outwardly like thousands...

    "Fate: 'what has been spoken, ' a power beyond men's control that is held to determine what happens" (Webster's Intermediate Dictionary 270). Everywhere in the world, people attribute events to fate because of the belief that one has no control over one's own life. People freely donate their lives to destiny because they believe life will happen according to a master plan, and they cannot help what happens to them. Therefore they do not try to change their life's path. In literature, authors hav...

    In Slaughter House Five, Billy Pilgrim finds himself unstuck in time jumping between several periods of his life. Travelling between his experience as a prisoner of war in World War II to his suburban family life in the 1950 s and 1960 s, and his experience as a human specimen in an alien zoo on a distant planet, Billy seemingly has no control over these transitions.

    The Use of Literary Devices in Kurt Vonnegut? s Slaughterhouse-five &# 9; Kurt Vonnegut used many literary devices in his novel Slaughterhouse-five.

He is a funny-looking youth, he does reasonably well in high school, enrolls in night classes at the Ilium School ...

However, Vonnegut s narrative style and the characters of his novels reflect the symptoms of serious mental illness, especially schizophrenia. While Vonnegut s works can be read partly as social criticisms, many p...
