Slaughter House-Five chapter 1

Chapter one of the book starts with a regression into time. The narrator goes back in time to talk about his live in world war II. During the whole chapter he jumps back and forth in time taking about how he lived then, or what he is passing through now. As soon as I read the book had something to do with the second world war I felt very interested. I had just seen a movie about the life of a little kid son of a nazi general being friends with a jewish boy in a concentration camp, and the movie came into my mind. Every time I read about this war I have so much ideas in my mind. I cant believe how people can be so horribly cruel.  I immediately connected this book to that movie and I saw the images in my head. People who lived this war and survived it are marked for the rest of their lives. I see how people now a days have sympathy for the the people that lived in those times and suffered so much. Books like this talking about war atrocities and the effect it has on people help people be better and prevent events like this one to never happening again. I remember when I went to that movie The Boy with the Stripped pajamas, as soon as the movie finished there were like 5 minutes in which there was no sound. People were in shock they did not move, they knew that this once happened but had never seen what it might have been like. I now can see that this book is going to be interesting and just by seeing the title I think it will be sad and tough. Just as all the works that recapture the events of that war.
