Queston uno
Slaughterhouse-Five, portrays a perfect anti-war novel, showing the true face of war, not just the epic version that the government shows us today. It shows how scary war really is, how unpredictable is can be, how mercilous and destructive the military can be. The fact that the book was going to be named The Childrens Crusade, shows that children, not much older then we are, have to face these war horrors when not yet matured, or ready to kill. Slaughterhouse-Five also shows how unpredictible war can be with its skipping around of story, since Billy skips around to find himself is a messed up position with no idea of how he got there. The situations in war are not how they seem on T.V. in reality. The POW's during the war were put through the worst situations, but in reality, this is what war is really like, and Kurt Vonnegut does an extreme job of telling this. All of this added up, makes every single word in Slaughterhouse-Five, make you think twice about going to war.

I like how you brought up the point about how the book was going to be titled the Childrens Crusade to show it portrays anit war. It is true that children would have to fight in it and that war was a terrible thing.
I think mason brought up some good points, and this is a good contribution to our class's blog.
