Some people may think the novel Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut is a failure. In fact, Kurt Vonnegut himself calls it a failure. A lot of people disagree with that, many think that Slaughterhouse Five is one of Vonnegut's best novels. They say it is the most successful book they have ever read, just for reasons of the author himself. From him being bluntly honest, to his great wit. So if it is such a failure in his eyes, why did he write it, what was his purpose, and why was it even published? Questions everyone are very curious about.

Barry Sadler singer of the song Ballad of the Green Beret and novelist Kurt Vonnegut maintain comparable tones regarding their literature pieces representing the war and the underlying image that is portrayed by the Green Beret. Sadler insightfully states that the impacts that committed soldiers fought through and the sacrifices their families had endured: represents honor, courage, and is described as jingoistic. It is an exceptionally sentimental song that displays astounding pride in Americans as he delineates his observations. “Fighting soldiers from the sky, fearless men who jump and die, men who mean just what they say. The brave men of the Green Beret”, these soldiers last request were to make their sons America’s best. In the novel Slaughterhouse Five Vonnegut’s attitude towards war begins to contradict Sadler’s, he advises his own sons that under no circumstance should they participate in war massacres, nor shall they be satisfied by the killing of enemies or work for companies that produce machinery for war. Massacres in the perspective of Vonnegut are brutal, there is nothing intelligent about then as he embodies a prominent antiwar stance due to his horrific experience in war.

The novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut is an American classic that centers on the life of Billy Pilgrim. There are three key phases in Billy’s life that Vonnegut focuses on: before World War II, during World War II, and after World War II. The main reason for Vonnegut to write this novel is not to show how war is evil, but to show how war influences the lives of the soldiers who have engaged in battle. In this essay, it will show how Kurt Vonnegut uses the life of Billy to represent the horrific impact that the soldiers go through after war.

Kurt Vonnegut’s book, Slaughterhouse-Five, is full of historical context, scientific-fiction themes, modernistic themes, and even emphasizes the idea of free will. But Vonnegut’s novel contains one major theme of the destructiveness of war making the book anti-war. Vonnegut uses a variety of techniques to allude to this theme and he does it well. The combination of his writing style and his use of humor to degrade the human in the event of war is highly effective in the fact that it causes the reader to think about war, and how it affects not only soldiers but the innocent people who are caught in the middle or the people who just do not belong there. Vonnegut does this through various genres of humor: body humor, black humor, and even the humor in his style of writing. Vonnegut also shows the lasting effects of the war on people involved through the main character, Billy Pilgrim, and his journey through life struggling with his PTSD and conflicting philosophies caused by it. Kurt Vonnegut’s novel, Slaughterhouse-Five shows the theme of anti-war through humor and by Billy Pilgrim’s psychiatric state.

This film is about a man named Oscar Schindler, who during the Holocaust did the unthinkable, and defined the Nazi resistance by undermining them, and ended up saving about 1,300 Jews. Schindler who was a business man before the war, worked as an Industrialist

Schindler's list is about the Holocaust. Speilberg wanted to educate the world about what had happened in the past events and to also silence; those who deny that it ever happened. Moreover, Spielberg films the movie in the early 1900s when genocide against Serbs, Bosnian, Muslims and ethnic Albanians was taking place in Yugoslavia. The fact that another genocide could happen in the present day pushes Spielberg to give a comprehension of the situation. This event which featured in the film affected the group Jews. Hitler's plan to eliminate the group and to get rid of them succeeded as it was too late for thousands. Oscar Schindler, the protagonist, and the eventual savior sacrifice his life to save his Jewish factory workers; without him,

Schindler’s List is an epic historical period drama film directed by Steven Spielberg that tells the story of Nazi party member Oskar Schindler who opens an enamelware factory with the initial intent to make a fortune, but ends up using the factory to save the lives of many innocent Jewish workers by protecting them from extermination by the SS. The movie included a character named Amon Göth, who was the overseer of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp. In the movie, he stood atop his balcony and fired his gun at Jews working below, killing many with seemingly random reasoning. The movie also featured Jewish prisoners of concentration camps and residents of ghettos serving as higher-ranking officials, such as policemen or Jewish council members. Additionally, the movie presents the idea of forced labor within concentration camps and ghettos, as factories like Schindler’s are associated with this type of work.

The Shawshank Redemption, was directed by Frank Darabont in Ohio State Reformatory, in Mansfield, Ohio in 1994. Frank Darabont has been inspired by most of Stephen King’s work, he's a big fan as well as a friend of Stephen. Some of the films directed by Darabont are from King’s work besides from The Shawshank Redemption like: The Mist, The Women in the Room and The Green Mile. Many filmmakers have been inspired by King’s stories because of how he has such imagery and how his books are far more than pop-cultural phenomenons. No doubt, The Shawshank Redemption, was one of the top movie of all time according to IMDB with top actors Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Even though, these actors didn’t quite match up physical appearances from the book,

The story revolves itself around the killing of Otto Braun who was a jewish banker. Braun was killed on a train with a needle by one of the passengers.

Forcing a person to complete some undesirable task under the threat of punishment tends to yield poor results. A mother threatening to snip her children’s allowance, for instance, can convince her offspring to clean their rooms, but at the cost of dirty socks shoved under the bed. Similarly, conventional wisdom suggests that slaves, resentful of their proverbial (and oftentimes physical) shackles, deliberately worked at a slow pace, sometimes sabotaging their masters’ equipment. History textbooks and even Hollywood make little attempt to change slavery’s place in the modern imagination – Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 movie Django Unchained, if anything, only reinforced the perceived battle between slaves and their masters.

Inglorious Basterds is the sixth of eight films in Quentin Tarantino’s filmography and is in many aspects, the perfect culmination of what makes a Tarantino film a Tarantino film. From the deep cultural references in the dialogue to the unforgivingly in your face, some have even said offensive, violence throughout, there’s no mistaking who’s eyes you’re observing the world through. Although it misses on key points such as pacing and leaves several questions left to assumption, Inglorious Basterds’ character-driven plot and use of dialect is more than enough to make up for its shortcomings. As someone who has seen all eight Tarantino films, and most multiple times, it is safe to say that Inglorious Basterds is a solid and memorable addition to the Tarantino filmography.

Its unrelenting portrayal of irrational death and annihilation goes well beyond other German war films of the 1950s. Its vigilant proposition that at least some of the boys might be accountable for not only their own deaths but the others deaths as well, implying that the older German soldiers indubitably should have known better.

This film was drawn to show footage shot by the British Army in Nazi concentration camps in 1945. They found unspeakable horrors which are still with people all over the world today. The term concentration camp refers to the camps that people were treated in harsh conditions. They were people imprisoned for being born into a family of Jews. People were forced to work and abused. If the people different work, then they were forced to die. The first concentration camps in Germany were established by Hitler in January 1933. Hitler thought at the beginning the camps were for those who opposed the Nazi policy. These “prisons” were then built in Germany, Poland, and other parts of Europe. By 1941, they began to use the camps to kill those who were not ideal blond hair, blue eyed Christians. He began with the Jew descents. He would target the disabled people, Roma or Gypsies, Catholics, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, and others were also considered worthless races, although Jews were by far the most targeted. Europe had over 9 million people considered themselves Jews. In the end, less than 3 million survived. Many of those who survived moved to the United States or other
