This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Read Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut.
During the party for Billy and Valencia’s eighteenth wedding anniversary, Billy is greatly upset by the barbershop quartet (219-30; 172-80 in the shorter edition). Summarize what happens to him in this moment and why. What do you think Vonnegut is saying about the nature of memory in this section of the book (and indeed throughout the book)?
Answer:
The barbershop quartet reminds Billy of the German officers when they saw the destruction caused by the bombing of Dresden. Billy breaks down and realizes he has some "big secret" inside. Vonnegut´s ideas about the nature of memory appear in Billy´s suppressing his emotion during the war, to end up having his later civilian life shape by what happened there.
Explanation:
Traumatized by the horrors of war, Billy´s memory constantly takes him into vivid flashbacks, showing that he hasn´t truly processed what he has gone through.
So a guy was asking a girl to marry him but he took of his shoes so he don’t crease them and the girl was laughing cos he took of his shoe but still said yes
The purpose is to get to know the character and to get u thinking about the plot
The ruling I would make on the charge of treason against John Brown, is guilty. Since the belief in transcendentalism is basically to be living on your own and not living under the government many are able to see how this may be illegal and wrong to the government. This also just gives people the opportunity to do whatever they want whether or not it is good or bad. Also, John Brown was convicted of treason due to the murder of five men and inciting a slave insurrection. I understand where John Brown was coming from, in the fact that slavery is wrong and should have been abolished. But there comes a time where we cannot recreate the actions of our enemies to retaliate, we must bring about a peaceful measure to combat these problems or else we become no better than our enemies. Then there was Ralph Waldo Emerson who just so happened to be a transcendentalist. He believed he did not have to live under the government and pay taxes and follow their society rules. He wrote poetry and he was a essayist he led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. I don't think transcendentalism is the answer to our problems with the government, it just makes it seem like we are acting like children and pretending the problem isn't there or choosing to ignore everything around us and act like we live in a bubble. This is why I believe John Brown should be guilty.
i just added more words to help reach the 250 word count :) hope this helps!
