New Beginings

The first chapter of Slaughter House Five can be compared to the movie We are Marshall. Throughout the first chapter, Vonnegut explains how he is wanting to write a book about the terrible bombings of Dresden. However, he is unsure on how to begin his story. This can be related to the movie We are Marshall. In We are Marshall the college football team all parishes in an airplane crash. After the accident the college was unsure on how to go on as a school. They didn't know if they should have a team the following year or wait a bit. In both situations people were unsure on how to begin.
