Question 3 SH5

The significances of telling the story out of order is that it shows that there is no time and the story doesn't have a beginning, end or middle. Its like a Tralfamadore story, no matter if its in order or not they always see it in order, the whole thing the right way. To the humans the book is out of order and it jumps randomly and they cant see it all at once. It was also chosen to not be in order because it showed that there was no time and everything is happening at once. When he would skip from time to time it would either be in a random moment or when he didn't want to experience something again, like the plane crash. Kurt Vonnegut wrote this story mixed up because he didn't believe in time, he is Billy Pilgrim in the book. KV made a character that is him but has a different name and there is one time in the book where he breaks character. This book also shows that you never die, like the Tralfamador say that they may be dead but there still alive somewhere. This book was not about showing how bad the war was cause he would say "So it goes" after anyone or anything would die, he didn't go into detail about it. Which made you think about it but not really get the full effect. This book was defiantly a anti-war book.
