I am enjoying Slauterhouse Five so far. Slaugterhouse Five is the type of book that immediately grabs your attention because in the beginning he is constantly going to different places. The book goes quick so you pay attention in the beginning so you dont miss anything. It's not really hard to get into because it is not boring in the beginning but it is kind of confusing.

The literary element that seems to be dominant at this point is foreshadowing. Im not sure because I'm only 80 pages in but so far it's just talking about Billy Pilgrim going to a bunch of different places. The places he's switching in between may be important background information later on in the book.

I think the author is using this element because the book is so confusing and he may want you to have some knowledge for later in the book to make it less confusing. He also may be writing so quickly and using foreshadowing because Billy Pilgrim seems like a complicated character.

The tone of the novel right now is whimsical because the book is very unpredictable so far. In the first few chapters the tone has not changed.
