Peacefull Eyes

I am here sitting at my desk, staring at the window, with my book slaughterhouse-five wide open and with a blank new word document in front of me. I have to write my blog and time keeps on passing and I have no idea to what I’m going to write about, then I start flipping the pages of my book and found a word that as soon as I saw it cached my eyes completely. This word was backwards, which means; the back side. I re-read that passage and found how Billy Pilgrim was watching a normal World War movie, where if he watched it forwardly in the right direction was a full of scenes of all the soldiers fighting and throwing missiles at each other and many hurt and dead soldiers on the ground. But instead Billy was watching the movie backwards there for he saw how instead of throwing the minerals from ones soldiers to the others they would take them away and put them away. “The minerals were then shipped to specialist in remote areas. It was their business to put them into ground, to hide them cleverly, so they would never hurt anybody again.”(Vonnegut 75). We can see how this is related to the beginning when Vonnegut stated that he was going to write an anti-war book and this scene is totally anti-war since Billy is see how instead to seeing the bullet out of the gun and into the other soldiers body it would go from the soldiers dead body and into the gun, this way being very peace full.

The theme of peace and anti-war is also noticed when Billy Pilgrim says that: “Everybody turned into a baby, and all humanity, without exception, conspired biologically to produce two perfect people named Adam and Eve, he supposed.”(Vonnegut pg 75) He is trying to say how he would like everyone to start life over again and be good, have no harm and certainly banish war from the vocabulary and the human actions.
