Question # 3

The reason that Kurt Vonnecut wrote Slaughter House-Five out of order is because he wanted to make the book complicated. When he wrote the book he made it so where you actually had to dig deep to understand the book. He already knew in his mind that the book would already be insane so, he made it even crazier. The saying "so it goes" basically means that things happen everyday and its a part of life thats the whole point of him saying "so it goes". The signifance of the book being out of order is that if you skipped a chapter then you will know that you skipped that chapter. This book is totally different than other books, by him making it out of order it pulls you into the book alot more. If he would have just made it a regular war type book then it would be just like the rest of them. He knew that his audience would have to really get into Slaughter House-Five so he made it scattered to catch their attention. Also he wanted to show how time doesnt really matter.Billys life was put in chronlogical order. I think that the main reason why the story is told ut of order is because the author wanted to show that all the things billy went through was a part of life in someway. Also that it doesnt matter how things happen because time is something that rolls naturally. Maybe time is suppose to be how we want it.Time itself doesnt matter its what you do with your time. When you hear the saying so it goes people usually use it when they talk about death or any part of life.
