Vonnegut’s Thoughts


What would Vonnegut think about our project?
Criticisms, like encouragement, help one grow and improve upon something that they did wrong. Even today we use this method writing with editing.  There is not one thing that is truly perfect everything can be improved upon.  With that being said I believe that Vonnegut would approve of our project as even great writers like him accept criticism in order to make their next novel better.  As well he it would be interesting for him to see how people after his time view his writing and what we compare it too.  As a writer you really only get to see how people of your time view your book, take Shakespeare for example his writings have been around long than Vonnegut’s have and we still study them today.  Being able to see how we compare their books to books of today can show the writer how styles have changed over time.  As well the way we are sharing his information would astonish Vonnegut because back when he started to write the novel there was no such thing as the internet, and it allows for people all over the world to comment on his writing and give their thoughts at the click of a button.  That is why I believe that Vonnegut would approve of our project.
