Question 1

Slaughterhouse-Five is said to be an anti-war novel because it is based on characters and society that are not concerned about war. The tone shows how the war events happened and could not be changed, and how the characters just move on with their lives, focussing on the good things that happen. Vonnegut succeeded in focusing on the views of the anti-war society in the world, trying to teach that if we, society, deny war importance and move on with our lives, the past mistakes/events will not repeat themselves in the future.

I agree, about what you said about the past and if we deny the importance of war then our past mistakes will not be repeated.
