Evidence and predictions

The book Slaughterhouse-Five is a book about the Second World War. The narrator talks in first person and he is telling the story after it has already happened. When he refers to the war he talks about very specific events that occurred to him or to his friends, and this gives the story a very personal feeling. Although after reading the first chapter I don’t really know much about the book I think it is clear that the narrator has lived peculiar experiences and the book will not be a usual war book. I thought it was very interesting to see how the narrator thinks war events lose importance with time because I think that the opposite happens and instead they have more importance and gain people’s interests more when time has gone by. I am looking forward to reading this book because the Second World War is a topic that I have always been interested in and because I think the story will be told in a new, unique way.
