Outside Reading

I am reading the book Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. So far I have enjoyed this book however strange it might be written. The way it's written may be strange, but I like his point of view on war. The way he makes the Germans view of the English Army is completely correct in the ways that they are bough and yet intelligent and all of them are this way. I would probably have to use setting to analyze the story so far. The setting has changed so much and so often its almost hard to keep up with. Billy, the main character, has been in a flying saucer, in a train in Germany, behind enemy lines, the border of Czechoslovakia, Ilium, and he's been in the YMCA from his childhood. He has changed the plot so many times, that I think he is trying to show what can happen to men after a war or just seeing people killed. I cannot make a connection to another novel because I have never read another novel that can even compare to how this novel is written. I can't compare the plot of this novel to another novel because I have not been able to identify the plot.

When the novel spoke to me, it told me about how wise my parents are despite their age. My parents seem to know so much and help to keep me on the right path. Everyone in the book is always talking about how Atticus is very wise because of his age. My parents are actually quite young and again are quite wise.

To me, the book means, there should always be a place where racism is non-existent. Atticus said something along the lines about the courtroom should be a place where there is no black and white, there is just man. For some reason this just hit me hard. I'm not trying to say that I'm racist, but I have heard of people who are racist that need not to be. I'm not meaning that only the courtroom should be free of racism, but everywhere.
