They may be teaching that still" (pg 8). I chose this quote because I agree with it so strongly and because I love the way Vonnegut uses such a light hand to establish his how absurd he finds that idea.]]> 2017-01-27 17:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/149950728 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150004807 "...the ones who hated war the most, were the ones who'd really fought." Pg 11
This makes a great point about the war. Movies glorified wars and many people didn't experience the harshness of it. Here, Vonnegut explains that those who were against it actually experienced the worst and knew what it was actually like. This gave them different outlooks on things. ]]> 2017-01-27 21:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150004807 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005042 "You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be played by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them" (page 14). I chose this quote because I completely agree with it, in movies and media war is glorified and some people treat it like it's something to be proud of and it's just sad.]]> 2017-01-27 21:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005042 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005287 "There would always be wars, that they were as easy to stop as glaciers."]]> 2017-01-27 21:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005287 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005330 "Sooner or later I go to bed, and my wife asks me what time it is. She always has to know the time. Sometimes I don't know and I say 'Search me'" (Vonnegut 7). I chose this quote because it symbolizes the need for veterans like Vonnegut to escape the binds of the social construct of time, war, and the stresses of everyday life after experiencing traumatic events that occur so frequently and insignificantly in war.]]> 2017-01-27 21:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005330 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005435 You'll pretend they were men instead of  babies, and you'll be played in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those glamorous war loving dirty old men.

I chose this quote because so often war is romanticized in movies and through stories. This leads young men to have a skewed view of what war truly is.]]> 2017-01-27 21:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005435 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005472 "Through a misunderstanding some children reported for duty at Genoa, where no slave ships were waiting."
Page 18

It shows how bad wars are actually are. Children gamble with their lives not knowing whether they will survive or not.]]> 2017-01-27 21:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005472 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005474 "Frames are where the money is"

I picked it because it's not something to be proud of, there's nothing much to say about it because everyone is dead. ]]> 2017-01-27 21:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/pj8l9l2wgtsv/wish/150005762
