  • “The nicest veterans in Schenectady, I thought, the kindest and funniest ones, the ones who hated war the most, were the ones who’d really fought”( Vonnegut, 1969, p.28). 
  •  "How nice... to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive" (Vonnegut, 1969, p. 194). 
  • "So it goes" (Vonnegut, 1969, p.12-380).

  • “I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another” (Remarque, 1928, p. 263). 
  • “We're no longer young men. We've lost any desire to conquer the world. We are refugees. We are fleeing from ourselves. From our lives. We were eighteen years old, and we had just begun to love the world and to love being in it; but we had to shoot at it. The first shell to land went straight for our hearts. We've been cut off from real action, from getting on, from progress. We don't believe in those things any more; we believe in the war” (Remarque, 1928, p.83). 
  • "The war has ruined us for everything" (Remarque, 1928, p. 87).

Absolutely nothing." His opening line and theme of the song as it progresses relates to the idea that war solves no problems and only adds destruction; therefore showing war as a senseless act.]]> 2018-11-29 21:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309574991 Notes: hastings_159 https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309577198 The speeches presented by Franklin D. Roosevelt alludes to the essential question, is war editable? Although the U.S. tried to remain neutral through the beginning of WWII, the events that later occurred in the bombing of Pearl Harbor, inevitably acted as the turning point to spark the U.S's involvement. This highlights that war happens without the ability to be avoided although it is not always the correct option.

     Charles Lindbergh's speech further interprets the senselessness of war as he voices his opinion in the negative manner to the U.S. joining the war. In his emotional opening statement he says, "We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other people to lead our country into destruction." That opening line signifies that war is senseless as it pulls others into a fight that simply for others' motives. ]]>     2018-11-29 22:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309577198     Notes: hastings_159 https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309579835 Much like FRD's "Day of Infamy Speech," the New York Times article further illustrates the essential question, is war inevitable? Through detailed events, count of death tolls, and appeal to the emotion of fear, this article shows that war happens through a response to others' actions and fear that is within others/ ]]> 2018-11-29 22:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309579835 Notes: hastings_159 https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309580622 This specific scene from motion picture Saving Private Ryan, gives a concrete image of the destruction that war causes. Just in the few moments highlighted within this scene blood, death, and destruction of life and land adhere to the thematic topic that war is a senseless act when it takes human lives to an overwhelming extent.  ]]> 2018-11-29 22:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309580622 Notes: hastings_159 https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309582438 This images of the U.S soldiers planting the flag in Iwo Jima in 1945, provides illustration to the theme of senselessness in war. As the soldiers plant their flag in a prideful manner, it is rested upon the lifeless bodies of many. This proves that due to the loss of life of so many people, war is not a sensible act.  ]]> 2018-11-29 22:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/309582438 Summary hastings_159 https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/310528383 Slaughterhouse-Five is a historical novel that focuses on the accounts and aftermath of a solider by the name of Billy Pilgrim. Through Billy’s encounters, he reveals that he has become unstuck in time, which gives him the ability to time hop from specific moments in his life. The setting of this novel varies through its telling based on the moment in which Billy is living. Mostly, the text is centered around his civilian life in New York, where is a father, husband, and optometrist and the accounts as a soldier and POW prisoner in Dresden, Germany. Billy’s accounts jump back and forth between moments as his environment or surroundings trigger the varying place he is. 
     Billy recalls information of experiences that allows readers to question his sanity and reliability for events. One of the overarching characteristics that Billy produces is his commonality of death through the use of the phrase, “So it goes.” This phrase illustrates the point that Billy sees death as a part of life and is no longer affected by its presence. This leads to the overarching theme that war is a senseless act.

    As the novel progresses, we are taken through the psyche brought on by physical and mental stress of war, along with detachment from civilian life.
    The main character Paul, becomes a less enthusiastic solider as events unfold and death is forced around him. He vowels it his duty to fight against the meaningless hatred of war that pins men against one another because of different beliefs and uniforms. ]]>     2018-12-03 17:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hastings_159/x8fj0ho0sovi/wish/310528580
