KV Number 3
It was significant for Kurt Vonnegut to tell the story out of order because it doesn't matter which order it happens if it destroyed everything and there is no going back. It doesn't really matter what order he tells it in if it all happened. as long as you read the hole book then you are going to find out what happened. Kurt nay have chosen to structure the book this way because all books are structured the same way. He wanted to be different. In all other books the story is written in chronological order. Kurt thought that if it happened it didn't matter what order it was in. This relates to the phase "So it goes." because when ever someone dies it doesn't really matter how he dies if he is no longer in the world today. Kurt doesn't need to explain how they die if so many people do. If he went into detail to explain how everyone died the book would be twice as long. All that he is telling you that you need to know is that a lot of people died in Dresden. it doesn't matter how they died but that Dresden was a tragic event.
