Chapter 10: Society and War

In chapter 10, I seemed to realize that many things are unpredictable. In Society, many people are unpredictable. Everyone always seems to have different thoughts and then change them. You never know what somebody is going to think or do next. Also, war is extremely unpredictable. One moment everything could be fine, and the next minute, there could be thousands of people gone in a blink of an eye!

  1. I totally understand where you're coming from. Through the entire book, due to the random time traveling, I felt like I had no idea what was coming next. It was truly unpredictable.

  2. I also agree with Brooke. The structure of the novel can be comparable to war in the randomness and the unpredictable events that happen in war. The reader can never really know what will happen next in Slaughterhouse-Five.

  3. I agree with this completely. There is no structure in this novel for a reason and the reason is to be comparable with war. There is no structure in war and it is unpredictable. I believe that Vonnegut is trying to relate war with the novel by saying that there is no possible way to really know what is going to happen next.
