My Slaughterhouse

My Slaughterhouse

      Postmodernism is a different and very confusing style of writing. It breaks the fourth wall, and is not told in any order. In Slaughterhouse-5 Kurt Vonnegut writes a story about a man named Billy Pilgrim and Vonnegut does everything that Post Modernism is in the story. 

      Breaking the fourth wall is only used once in Slaughterhouse-5 and this is different than any other story. It makes the story confusing because the person talking to us is giving away information that we may not need to no yet. This is why Slaughterhouse-5 is a Post Modernism story because it breaks the fourth wall. Breaking the fourth wall can cause a lot of confusion.

      Slaughterhouse-5 is not told in any order and this is different than most stories because it is not in chronological order. An example is when Billy is in the hospital and then he closes his eyes and is back in the war. Another example is when Billy is with the Tralfamadorians and then back on Earth the very next day. This is why Slaughterhouse-5 is a Post Modernism book because it is not in chronological order. 

      Slaughterhouse-5 is Post Modernism because it breaks the fourth wall and is not told in any order throughout the story. These are just two of many techniques that use Post Modernism and Vonnegut uses them very effectively.
