The Difference

I think that there is are many differences between Slaughterhouse Five, and the other two books we studied this year. One of the more distinguishable difference is the time period they write in.

George Orwell's 1984  and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World were sending out a warning. Based on the change of human behavior in their own time, the two authors predicted two completely different futures; both equally unpleasant. Similarly, both authors predicted what would become of us in the future.

Kurt Vonnegut on the other hand, wrote about the past. He described the gruesome of war. Unlike Orwell and Huxley, he looked back and told of what had already become of humans.

I think that this is the major difference that set Slaughterhouse Five apart. Which again brings back my point. To me, this shows that Vonnegut does not want to worry about what is going to happen, but learn from the past, and live his life to the fullest in the present.
