Why does Vonnegut think that ending the book with Edgar Derby's death would be ironic?

English
1 answer:
serg [7]3 years ago
4 0

Vonnegut thinks that climactic end of the book with Derby's shooting would be ironical since Elgar was a kind and just man who did not deserved to die.

Explanation:

The Slaughterhouse-Five storyline revolves amidst world war and its climactic endings. In the story, a strong emphasis has been put on Tralfamadorian philosophy. With the death of each of the phrase “So it goes” appears meaning the relative presence of a person in a moment and absence in another.

Hence, in the story Vonnegut not only dismisses the conventional climactic story structure which would probably end in the shooting of Elgar Derby who was otherwise a kind and just man. He was to receive the punishment for a petty mistake of being caught with a teapot. However, the destiny prevails and “so it goes” meaning that Justice does not prevail in death.

Why the concept of ‘separate but equal’ is not a good concept
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

See below:

Explanation:

Separate but equal is a contradictory idea. Why must equal things be separate in the first place? Firstly, as many know, America's history with the concept has been deceptive. For example, the "colored" restrooms were poorly looked after, while the "white" bathrooms were typically well taken care of, more so than the other bathrooms anyway. The idea was that because different races cannot coexist, we should be separated but given equal resources to survive. The only reason one would legally separate races is because they believed one race to be superior in value to the others. Therefore, separate but equal is nothing but a baseless, political pacifier.
