Slaiughterhouse Five The book Slaughterhouse Five has a bizarre and twisted plot that reverts back and forth through time. The main character Billy Pilgrim was involved in World War II and was mentally disturbed by the bombings of Dresden thus alluding to a state of being “unstuck in time”. The Dresden bombings was an air raid by American and British air bombers that was an unnecessary military operation. The bombings killed mostly civilians, around 130,000 people …showed first 75 words of 1293 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1293 total…travel. Slaughterhouse five is a bizarre book and was hard to understand since so many things were going on at once. Vonnegut would jump back and forth between time. At the end of the book Billy says he knows how he will die. He says Chicago will be bombed with hydrogen bombs. And Billy will be shot in the back of the head with a High powered laser gun. I did not like this book.
