First Post: Imagery present in Slaughterhouse Five

Slaughterhouse Five is consistant with imagery.  In the first chapter, Vonnegut creates an image of his experience as a prisoner of World War II.  He recreates his experience by creating vivid detail of the firebomb in East Germany. Imagery is also very much present in Vonnegut's view after a massacre: "Everything is supposed to be very quiet after a massacre, and it always is, except for the birds." This quote creates a peaceful, yet distraught and devasted scene after a massacre.  In the image created from the quote, one pictures the silence of the dead bodies with incessive birds chirping.
