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 17:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149949565 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149967085 "No art is possible without a dance with death" (p. 21). I think this quote relates to the soldiers who fought in the war — they're always at brim of death. Also, the word 'art' in this quote represents the stories of the soldiers. Their death is like the final brush stroke of a painting.]]> 2017-01-27 18:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149967085 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149967360 "You never wrote a story with a villain in it" (pg 8). The quote reflects Vonnegut's views on how complex human life is and how no one is truly a bad or good guy and I appreciate his attention to that specific detail about our existence. ]]> 2017-01-27 18:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149967360 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149968284 "You were just babies in the war-like the ones upstairs!" (Pg. 14
This quote illustrates the reality of our military. Many of our soldiers are young and not fully matured.]]> 2017-01-27 18:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149968284 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149968718 "They were no doubt idle and deserted children who generally swarm in great cities, nurtured on vice and daring, said Mackay, and ready for anything" (pg.16)
This quote shows how strong children really are. Children are generally portrayed as weak and helpless and this shows their strength.]]> 2017-01-27 18:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149968718 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149969339 "The nicest veterans in Schenectady, I thought, the kindest and funniest ones, the ones who hated the war the most, were the ones who'd really fought." (Page 11) I chose this quote because it illustrates how war affects people and how seeing a war can change how you feel about it. ]]> 2017-01-27 18:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149969339 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149969602 "Do you know what i say to people when i here they're writing anti-war books? i say why don't you write an anti-glacier book instead?"  This quote is talking about how there is no point in writing about something that is never going to change]]> 2017-01-27 18:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149969602 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149970413 "The time would not pass. Somebody was playing with the clocks, and not only with electric clocks, but the wind up, too." (page 20) Vonnegut highlights the agony behind the longing experiences he's had.]]> 2017-01-27 18:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149970413 https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/149970854 " The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He still very much a live in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present, and furture, always have existed, always will exsist.

"You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be played in the movies of Frank Sinatra and John Wanye of those other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will just look wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them. And they'll be fought like babies like the babies upstairs." (Pg. 14) I chose this because this quote reflects the war and a more indepth thought about how war really is and that's a view outside from my perspective.]]> 2017-02-01 19:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/brooks_emma/urg1cj97sz9f/wish/150971562
