idk

So basically we read a bunch of good works but I really like Dr Faust. I probably did not spell that right. it shows how one can view something as immoral but it may not be viewed as that to another. This has a lot in common with society. Some view being a little bit more confident as a bad thing while others see nothing wrong with it. I think everyone needs to have an open mind a respect everyones choice as long as they aren't killing innocent lives or cause major harm to others.

Slaughter House

I would like to talk about slaughterhouse 5 in this blog. This book confused me at first with the jumping around and science-fiction like genre. I like to read books with a trustworthy narrator and this book did not have one. The first lines stating that this is a story really show how the author wants the reader to be detached from the book and know it was a story. Which helped me understand the book a little more. After reading the book and talking about it in class with the Socratic seminar I understood it more. it is really just showing how war severely affects soldiers and cause ptsd. We can assume that the author is using personal experience and events to write this book which helps me understand the narrator better by looking at the authors past. With out the Socratic seminar I probably would not understand this book at all. I now have a deeper understanding for it and actually kind of enjoy it.
