Allusions

In the novel Slaughterhouse Five there were quite a few allusions that were recognizable. The first and most obvious one was when the Allies were bombing Dresden and all the POW's were in the slaughterhouse and could hear the bombing and when they got out, they saw all the destruction of the city. This makes the person who is reading think about how it was like back in WWII and how horrible it must of been to be there. Another one was when they talk about how the killings in Dresden was worse then the atomic bomb falling. That probably makes the reader thing about how bad the Dresden bombing were and how many innocent people died that day. And when they say they you should focus on the good things in your life, you kinda stop and wonder about all the good things in your life and the bad things and say to yourself that you can't change anything so might as well accept it. So throughout the book there are many allusions that are quite recognizable.
