Chapter 2

In chapter two, Vonnegut jumps right into the story by sharing depressing, dramatic, and tragic situations that involve death and injuries. The unique aspect of Vonnegut's writing is that although he is talking about insane and unimaginable events, he remains to write casually and makes you feel like he is talking in a monotone voice. The fact that Vonnegut so often says things like "so it goes" and "and so on" makes me think he is a man who has seen a lot and knows many stories.  Not only is Vonnegut telling of sad stories, he also makes many hysterical remarks in chapter two. For example, when he discusses Billy being drunk and him hallucinating Vonnegut's funny side is seeping through. This chapter reminded me of the movie "Back to the Future" because of all the "time traveling" back and forth that Billy did. The book is somewhat hard to follow because of this aspect.
