The novel Slaughterhouse-Five is different from the others, due to the lack of chronological order in the narrative. The narrator opens the book by discussing his timely desire to write about his experience in Dresden during World War II. Yet he has already spent countless hours writing thousands of pages on this baffling topic, all of which have been discarded. To fulfill his wish to complete the novel, he calls his old war buddy, Bernard V. O'Hare. After agreeing to reunite with the intention of remembering their days in Dresden, the story begins. The story follows main character Billy Pilgrim who frequently jumps back and forth in time; this is what ultimately creates the lack of chronological order in the story. The story is told by narration, yet the narrator who is evidently involved throughout the story is never fully revealed. However, with further research into the time period and other important history factors, this gap can be filled. Implementing the traditional analytical approach one vividly notices the great similarities between education, employment and war experiences, which the author Kurt Vonnegut and the narrator of the story share; considering Vonnegut the narratorThe author himself goes through many experiences with war in his life, due to the Second World War which he often uses as inspiration for his novels. Many people think, “Vonnegut is best when he talks about his wartime experiences” (Clark). This suggests the possibility that Slaughterhouse-Five is a product of Vonnegut's true wartime events. Then, when examining this accusation further, it is clear to the reader the abundance of talk about war that the narrator so evidently speaks of. Here is one of the many times this happens in the novel when the narrator explains: “We were formed in ranks, with Russian soldiers guarding us; English, Americans, Dutch, Belgians, French, Canadians, South Africans, New Zealanders, Australians, thousands of us who are about to stop being prisoners of war” (Vonnegut, 7). Ultimately, this shows how the narrator was actually a prisoner of war, which gives the opportunity to make connections with the author. Ironically, the author himself had the experience of being a prisoner of war. This is clearly stated: "He was sent as a prisoner of war to Dresden" (Allen). This creates a clear similarity that continues to insinuate that the narrator and Vonnegut are one, making this accusation more and more concrete. This continues afterwards though
