Slaughterhouse-Five

Slaughterhouse-Five is a very confusing book. I like it, but it's confusing. I am never really exactly sure what the author is talking about, but I have enough understanding to be able to discuss the book. This book definately has a lot of imagery, such as when the narrarator describes the Iron Maiden and how bundled up Ronald Weary was. There is also a lot of repetition, like "so it goes", and when he talks about Billy "time traveling." I had noticed an example of personification that I really liked, "And I let the dog out, or I let him in, and we talk some. I let him know I like him, and he lets me know he likes me. He doesn't mind the smell of mustard gas and roses." (7)
The plot of the book so far is mainly just the narrarator talking about him writing the book. I'm not positive if the author is the narrarator; it never really says. It talks about how long it took him to write the book and how much energy it took him. I don't think there is really a setting yet, but if there was I would say it would be Dresdon or Bernard V. O' Hare's house. It could be Dresdon because this book has a lot to do with the war there. It could be Bernards' house because the narrarator went there to discuss idea's for his book, and I feel like he may be telling what's happening in the book at Bernarnds house. This book is really just all over the place.
I haven't ever read any books about war before, but one book that is similar to this that I have read would be Tuesday's With Morrie. It had nothing to do with war, but how it was written reminds me a lot of Slaughterhouse-Five. They were both written in 1st person, and they both have the feeling of a journal. I like this writing type better than others, because you get to know the protagonist more and see what they are really thinking.
For the creative project, I am thinking of doing a video. I am not positive yet, but that seems best at this point. In a video I could show the different scenes and time traveling, and make it understandable to someone who didn't read the book. I am not that far in the book yet, so I really couldn't decide yet. This is what I am thinking though. I really like this book so far, and I am excited to continue on with it. Hopefully the author creates more of an understanding for the reader. If not, I'm sure I will be able to catch on.
