Chapter 2 Post 1

The main purpose for chapter two was to get an insight into our main character. Vonnegut begins the real story in this chapter so he introduces us to Billy Pilgrim. We are given a vivid image right off the bat by Vonnegut's use of imagery. Billy is "a funny-looking youth-tall and weak, and shaped like a bottle of Coca-Cola" (23). Through this description I have a perfect picture in my head of that Billy looks like. This is very important for an author to do because it allows us readers to see exactly what is going on.
