Chapter 1

When I read the first chapter of Slaughterhouse Five, I thought of the movie and book, The Lucky One. I thought of the book, The Lucky One, because of the flash backs and events reflecting on the time of the war. Reading the first chapter, I also related the passage to the television show Grey's Anatomy. In the show, a character Owen has many traumas and flashbacks to his time in serving the war, such as Vonnegut.  The wallpaper symbolizing the outline of the novel reminds me of my grandparent's house.  Grandparent's houses are filled with memories of their lives since they have usually lived there for so long together.  Their houses outline the happiness to come in young lives of younger generations.
