"It would," said Sam.
Then the train began to move, and the soldier in the train sank back on his seat, took out a cigarette, and began to smoke. I found he had been twice out at the front, and was now home on sick leave. He had been at the battle of Mons, through the retreat to the Marne, the advance to the Aisne, the first battle of Ypres, and the fighting at Festubert. In a word, he had seen some of the greatest events in the world's history, face to face, and yet he confessed that when he came to writing a letter, even to his wife, he could find nothing to say. He was in the position of the lady mentioned by Horace Walpole, whose letter to her husband began and ended thus: "I write to you because I have nothing to do: I finish because I have nothing to say." The last part could be humorous, but it's mostly conversational

What adjectives would you use to describe Vonnegut's tone to the reader in Chapter 1? Why?

sattari [20]

Ironic and absurd

In my opinion, ironic and absurd are the adjective that characterize Vonnegut’s tone. Infact his novel’s black humor is built in a way to get to the absurd when, for example, he refers to the prisoners that in his point of view are similar to animals as “meat locker”.

Otherwise the dialogue of Wild Bob is a clear example of the second one, he lost his soldiers in the battle. He had assured them that are many Germans dead that are praying God not to meet him and his soldiers, his words are a clear moment of absurdity when we realized that he lost his mind.

What does this quote mean?

aev [14]

Answer:

Tools that are sharp (eg knives) get dull as you use them, but when you speak sharply (in a bitter or critical way) often, you overall tend to speak that way more. So, instead of getting less sharp, your tongue is getting sharper.

Explanation:

Both types of poetry use similar literary devices like repetition, alliteration, imagery, irony. For example, Walt Whitman’s lyric poem “I Hear America Singing” use alliteration and repetition where he repeats the word "singing" and adds settings: "shoemaker singing as he sits,” “ hatter singing as he stands,” “the boatman singing on the boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck.”

Compare that to Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s narrative poem, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” where Coleridge writes, "Swiftly, swiftly flew the ship, Yet she sailed softly too: Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze— On me alone it blew,” “Alone, alone, all, all, alone. Alone on a wide, wide sea.”
