Chapter 3: STYLE

Chapter three is consistent with examples of Vonnegut's style. The way he uses short, choppy sentences displays the directness of the story. When he describes an event or character, his senetences become short and exact: "She was shivering. Her tail was between her legs" (52). Also, Vonnegut's use of vivid adjectives and verbs exemplifies his creative diction. His diction gives the story a chilling tone. The tone he applies to the story is perfect because of the subject: war.
