SCHLACHTHOF EINS- one slaughterhouse

• Author is the narrator and a character in the book
• "So it goes" comes up at specific moments
• Book about war and Vonnegut remembering the past
• Mustard gas and roses (poisonous and deadly but sweet and romantic)
• No sense of time (no chronological order)
• Interesting how he uses crayons and wallpaper to organize his memory (significance of orange crayon for firebombing?)
• Vonnegut is anti-war but was in the war
• Is the whole book going to be him talking about writing the book and war?
• O'Hore doesn't want her children to join war because she is afraid they will die
• I don't understand what the title stands for
