Chapter 6

In chapter 6, an Englishman gave a lecture on survival. The man said that he saw many people die from ceasing "to stand up straight... shave or wash... get out of bed... [and] talk," (185). I think that within this lecture Vonnegut is making a side point that giving up is never an option in war and that, no matter what, the Americans must go on. This reminds me of the song "Never Give Up," by Yolanda Adams, because they both share a theme of staying strong and doing what you have to do even when times are rough.
