Answer: The author explains that he is a man of integrity in order to show why the school's reactions were excessive and wrong.
Explanation:
Vonnegut defends his integrity to show that having his book and his entire work deemed as evil was wrong. He presents his actions after the burning of his books, doing "absolutely nothing to exploit the disgusting
news from Drake," as evidence of his integrity. Furthermore, he describes himself as a loving father and an honored veteran to better support his argument.

Dear Diary,
Once, our whole family had gone on a vacation to the northeast states. And on one occasion, my father took me and my younger sister to a traditional village fair which was our very first experience attending any such fairs. It was more than I had imagined. The whole ground was full of people moving along, with stalls erected in all corners. The stalls have toys, food, clothing, necessities, and even handmade bamboo products. While the fun and activities part was on another side of the huge ground, I was more into the crafts and wooden products. I asked around for the price, thinking that they'll be too costly and I wouldn't probably have it in me to buy them. But to my surprise, they were so cheap, compared to how things are in my home city of Delhi. I asked my father to buy me so many things that I had to make choices.
Moreover, the one most surprising thing was the friendliness and openness of the village people in helping others, even strangers. They knew we were from out of town and made sure that we are safe, and immediately tried their best to help, even by the old women who couldn't speak English. While their native language was foreign to us, that did not stop them from voicing their concern.
My sister got so many traditional dolls, toys, and other art crafts. I think this was the one time we got ourselves so many things. But it was such a wonderful experience being there, and I don't regret ever spending time or money there.
I only hope I can go there again next year.
Here's hoping for that.
Love,
Sneha.
The best way to punctuate the bolded portion of the quotation is the following:

This is the best way considering that the sentence ends on 'Lewis'. Periods always go inside quotations, as you can see from this brief description between different citing standards.
MLA: Commas and periods directly following quotations always go inside closing quotation marks. Question marks can vary depending if the question is part of the quote, then the punctuation mark goes inside the quotation marks. If the question is not part of the direct quote, it goes outside.
AP: All punctuation goes inside the closing quotation marks. This includes commas, periods, question marks and exclamation points.
Chicago: Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks. Question marks and exclamation points that are part of the original quote are included inside quotation marks.
