Ch.10 (entry #1)

Onomatopoeia! Onomatopoeia is the use of words whose sounds echo their meaning. The onomatopoeia used in this chapter is "Poo-tee-weet?" (Vonnegut 215).  One would ask what is the meaning of that phrase, and I would tell them nothing, absolutely nothing. Now here is why that they have no meaning, Vonnegut through those three words is telling us that a massacre sometimes has no reason behind it and it just happens. I loved the way the book ended, and no I see why this is an anti-war novel.
