In celebration of his 50th birthday, Kurt Vonnegut wrote a book to himself as a present which is mentioned by Vonnegut in the preface of the book. The name of this book is Breakfast of Champions. This book is primarily about the meeting between a car dealer named Dwayne Hoover and an old writer named Kilgore Trout. This meeting leads to Dwayne going insane. At first, this book may seem to be a mix of irrelevant information with no exact chronological order. At times, this book can also be very confusing. However upon closer examination, the book has much more to offer. This book is written about America and draws many parallels with American Culture such as the many problems existing within America or the attitude of the peoples. Through analysis…
Terry Pratchett’s Diskworld series and beyond. Vonnegut exceled at breaking you out of your comfortable world. He would suddenly rip his Captain Nemo or Blackbeard off their ship and replace them with a rooster or more probably a well endowed horse, just for the simple purpose of shattering your little safe house or island that you as the reader had built to stand on while you watched the story unfold around you, all while making the obvious joke. As an example, In Breakfast of Champions…
There are many interesting things about the book breakfast of champions, a distinctive way of author writing style that defies fictional conventions, social commentaries and the exploration of relations between the fictional and the determinate. But these ideas are held by a very weak history, making everything less than its parts separately. The story unfolds around a science fiction writer called Kilgore Trout, and a car salesman named Dwayne Hoover. Away from where we are given to understand…
If a reader does not follow closely what the author is talking about, one would most likely get lost, and have to reread. The use of arrows in this selection seems to be how the author transitions. He has an average of one paragraph per arrow. Maybe this is his way of transitioning from thought to thought. Either way, he is breaking the frame. Modernists say that the first paragraph should contain the topic sentence. The first paragraph in Vonnegut’s The Breakfast of Champions talks about how he…

Is the College Football Playoff a step in the right direction in this sport or is it a step backward. In the past the College Football champion used to be decided by a National Championship game between the two highest ranked teams given to the two teams with the best records. Nowadays the champion is decided through a playoff system that includes the four best teams in the country. In my opinion I think that the playoff is a great idea, and I strongly believe it should continue. The College…

Tuesday, September 13th: Filled up my 2quart pitcher with some H2O when I woke up at about 8:30. I keep it next to me while I go over my class work and watch TV. It gets drank before my first class at 1:30. I always carry water with me to my classes, if I forget I stop by stars to buy one. Not often do I eat breakfast. For lunch I had a turkey sandwich on wheat, no cheese. For dinner I had some soup with a salad. I like cottage cheese with salad, so I skip dressing because that should hold it…
