Slaughterhouse Five Figurative Language Analysis

Mr. Vonnegut, After thoroughly analyzing and metaphorically murdering your novel, Slaughterhouse Five, I have come to a much overdue conclusion that I think you 'll very much enjoy. Your use of figurative language has captured my heart in a way that no one else could. I adore Billy 's incredible personality, I strongly dislike the German soldiers that imprisoned all of your characters and the people who wanted to murder Billy. I feel empathetic for Billy 's first wife, Valencia since Billy met Montana and dies in a plane crash. However, Mr. Vonnegut, you have truly and utterly wrecked me.

You better think this through much more carefully next time Vonnegut. I will not have the main character die, those do not make for good antiwar books, just tragic books.

He could have been okay, he could have gotten help, but you had to give him a condition, and make him hide his condition from everyone who knew and loved
