If Vonnegut was to find out..... (Anas)

If Vonnegut was to find out about our project he would be very pleased. Slaughterhouse Five was written in a way such that many things in the book are left unexplained. Difference people perceive the novel in different ways. By writing about our perceptions of the book, we are bringing to light the many different theories that surround Vonnegut's book. Vonnegut never fully revealed what his thoughts were when writing the novel. I think that by doing so, he expects readers to "figure out" the novel using their own perceptions. So many areas of the book are left up to the readers to dissect and figure out. By writing about our thoughts on the book (or parts of it), we are providing insights into the book and bringing to light the different thought that Vonnegut could have possibly had when writing. I think that by doing so we are doing exactly what Vonnegut wanted, to perceive the book in our own unique way and that would please Vonnegut if he was to see our project.
