Tone


Billy’s tone changes in chapter 8 to a sad and somber one. He is reminded of the bombings in Dresden at his eighteenth wedding anniversary. Vonnegut states, “He did not travel in time to the experience. He remembered it shimmeringly-as follows” (Vonnegut 177). This time Billy remembers the moment and does not need to travel to it.

  1. I agree that the tone changed throughout the book. I also think that one of the reasons his tone changed was because he thought about the war and the bombings.
