My Name is Yon Yonson

In the first 23 pages of the book slaughterhouse five by Kurt Vonnegut, many concepts or ideas are introduced. He starts like if he was talking to the reader, telling his story with different names. He talks about the Second World War and how he lived it with his friend O´Hare in Dresden. He describes it but always as remembering the ideas to write his book about his experience therefore he is talking about writing a book in his book (haha kind of ironic). I really liked the way he introduced himself and how he takes reference of different sources and jumps from one scene to another. He is suddenly getting in contact to write his book but after all he was drunk and got in touch with his friend because he has some type of disease. Also, it is interesting when he dedicates the book to the cab driver, and Mary (O´Hare´s wife).  The topic he chose and the irony with which he expresses it is unique, along with his emotion descriptions and inside thoughts. At first it is a little confusing due to that you don´t know who he is but then it gets more interesting while you fill in the blanks. Surprisingly, I he tells the reader that he taught Writers Workshop in the university of Iowa which we do in class. War is really tough to handle, and even more if you had to be a part of it, but when he talks about it, it seems like if he considered it really important but he laughs with his friend at some memories like the one that a guy got killed for using a teacup that did not belong to him. I wonder out of the many failure drafts that he attempted to write, how will he describe his final copy and thoughts. He says he really has nothing to writ about but as he says that he is writing it, so many things have sort of a double meaning. I wonder when will he be satisfied with the arrangement of his thoughts to make The Childrens Crusade the best possible.
