If I was to bring any character to life from the books we have read together in class, I believe that I would bring back Kurt Vonnegut himself (although he was a real person). Just the thought of being able to ask him so many question of why he wrote things a certain way it would just make me feel awesome. There are so many question that I would like to ask him, for example if slaughterhouse 5 is a pro life book or if it’s a anti-war book, who are the people who influenced him, what were his thoughts while writing a book that t almost 20 years. It seems that Kurt Vonnegut would play the role of mentor in a way for the fact that I would love to be able to write like him. Having the ability to put subliminal messages into writing and have to force the readers to think deeper into what they are reading. One of the things that I have been wondering while we read this book, what did Kurt Vonnegut meant to say in “nothing is true, everything is permitted” does he believe in a higher power? Or is he simply making fun of religion. So many questions, so little time.
