Dear Bobby,
You know how I do enjoy reading the letters you send me. It brings me so many emotions thought, happiness, sadness, loneliness. No need to worry about me, the neighbors do at times taunt me about how you're not coming home, but I just simply brush them away. Nice to hear that you made some friends over there, you were so anti social back here, haha.
On a serious note, those men need to grow up and put you as one of the airmen. They should know better that they're fighting against others, not each other. About the training, that's great to hear! You're a hard worker and I know you'll finish with no disappointing looks on you. Try your best and never give up, no matter what the men say. You're fighting for the country, not for there respect.
How right you are, about slavery. But give it time, and it should blow over. Though I still have a feeling that racism will stick around for a loong time, but not be as bad as it is today.
You know I don't like it when you talk about "not coming home"...it worries me as well, especially when I hear it from you. War is a dangerous game, but I know you can pull it through, people will see you as a hero, even if they don't say it or make you feel like one. You don't need an award or a hand shake from the president to win me over. You already have me and you'll always be a hero in my eyes no matter what. I'll see you when you come home. WHEN you come. I love you too, and always will.

Love,
Darla

I really don't think WWII has effected my family. At least as far as I know. My grandma is the oldest person in my house and she barely remembers her childhood. I know she must have been in the TGD being born in the 30's but she can't remember if he family went through any difficulties.

The cartoon was made in 1942 by Walt Disney. The point of this cartoon was to get kids excited to join the army. At the beginning of the cartoon, Donald is convinced to join the army by the posters and images he spots that are near the building. The images that catches his eyes are the one with the females that are all over the guys in the army. He feels that he can be the guy with all the girls so he decides to join the army.

This cartoon wants young boys and men to join the army. At the beginning, Donald sees posters of girls, hoping he'll be able to get with them if he was in the army. The cartoon wants young men to think the same way "Army=tons of chicks"


Unsure of who made this and when but this propaganda was more directed to the Christians because of the bible. Americans what's to branch out and try to get more people angry and more to join the war, so they decided to use more direct "attacks". This showing a Nazi stabbing a bible could rage a Christian, who would want to fight for what he believed in.

I didn't think that America would use more direct attack to get more to join and get more to see who's actually the "enemy" is in the war.
In this poster, it shows America's allies are needed in the war to help defeat the "enemies". It shows the flags of the allies on canons shooting at the sky.

1. What stands out to you most in this interview?

What stood out to me was how before the interview, the interviewer wrote about 4 paragraphs of the past interviews that KV has gotten and has taken some of what KV has said in the past and put it in the intro of the interview. Reduce.Reuse.Recycle


2. What experiences led Vonnegut to write Slaughterhouse Five?

The interviewer asked KV a question about how he felt about firebombing of Dresden. KV responded with he made a book about it.


3. Prior to reading Slaughterhouse Five, what would you like to ask KV?

Maybe how many redos did it take him till he finally decided that SH5 was complete. I know in one part of the book, he mentioned he was unsure is SH5 would be complete because he keeps rejecting most of the ideas he obtains.
