- Vonnegut refers to the poetry of William Blake. Compare the themes in Blake's "London" and "Auguries of Innocense" to the themes in the book.
- Discuss the types of humor Vonnegut uses to highlight serious modern issues.
- Discuss the novel's use of repetition, both in words and images. How does it affect the reader?
Directions: Choose ONE of the prompts to answer. It would be a good idea to refer to the reading strategies and the assignments you've completed earlier in the 3rd Quarter to help you answer the questions. It is also suggested that you map-out your ideas using an outline, graphic, mind-map, or other organizational strategy before sitting-down to write.
Requirements: Your name, my name, class/period, and date should be written at the top-left corner. The title should simply be the prompt you chose to answer, and be centered on the page one space below the heading. Answers are required to be typed, at least 250 words or one typed page in length. The assignment will be due with the portfolio during the second week of the 4th Quarter.
