In four days the world will end
Every city on Earth will be gone.
No remnants of the cultures,
That once lived on the young planet. During this time of Armageddon,
Horrible events take place.
The characters have lost all hope,
And have begun to act irrational. Cassie has problems with Evan
Now that he is more than he seemed
The two love each other
But doubt is quite obvious.
Cassie believes Evan's an angel,
Whom she does not deserve
Throughout the book they argue
And Cassie is quite extreme
For she is afraid Evan's love for her
Is simply because the idea of her.
So weak and tired of her hardships,
Cassie can not take much longer. During this time of Armageddon,
Horrible events take place.
The characters have

There are many ideas on how the world will end. Some say with the rapture, or a zombie apocalypse, or a super-virus. William Golding, author of Lord of the flies, believed that the world was doomed. He expresses this idea through his book when he shows that hope ultimately fails us, when he gives the boys pure things and they tarnish them, and when he has evil triumph good.
The story’s set in a now a days city, we can tell this by the use of cell phones and walking next to bridges “The walking path next to the highway passed under a bridge.” (Kleeman) “I was calling you over and over on the cell phone…”(Kleeman) The social environment at the time of end of the world wasn’t chaotic like what we see in movies. It started with people freaking out then after a few weeks settling down and accepting the fact that there was nothing we can do to stop it, you just have to make the time you have left worth it. This setting adds to the story by giving the reader an image that would be different then what they might have thought the end of the world would look like. The setting also adds to the conflict of the story. With the conflict being everything seems to be disappearing, literally the setting disappears as we read through out the story. The setting adds suspense to the story, keeping the reader on the edge of there seat wondering what was going to disappear next. The writer shows uses a great form of imagery to get the reader to understand the true emptiness of the setting this story is placed in “Sound carried further these days, tearing through the thin air like stone thrown as hard as you can toward the sea.”. The author puts the setting together perfectly to allow the reader to put themselves into the environment of the story. Which is so important because “the setting provides the framework for what is being discussed.”
The world could end in a million different ways; by war, aliens or global warming; it seems every person has a theory as to what will happen. Christians and Muslims both have prediction and prophecy telling what insanity will ensue when the earth ceases to exist. Islam and Christianity have some very similar theories and also some very contrasting theories.
The Slaughterhouse begins with the explanation of how lent is starting so they cannot eat meat and during this time there has been intense flooding that has made going anywhere in Buenos Aires nearly impossible. Preachers are claiming that this flood is because judgement day is coming and God is angry with the wickedness of man.

The end also has quotes from others who had read the book, trying to figure out as to what has occurred in the book to show its impact on the readers. Also near the end, Montag remembers a bible verse that he had been pondering on since he met granger and his friends, but the moment the city/ country is destroyed he remembers the verse. It is as if they are restating the whole phoenix theory again, but instead of a rebirth, it is the creation of something after it is destroyed. All of these reason are all also related to the bible or God, maybe trying to state a religious view point such as the the phoenix being Gods way to show rebirth or the bible verse that Montag
“She was a girl who’d lost her brother, and someone had led her to believe I did it, and in anguish she had tracked me down.

According to recent speculation, the end of the world will be coming to an unfortunate end on September 23, 2017. These accusations were made mostly by a man named David Meade. He based this assumption off of his study of biblical numerology. There were two previous theories as to when the world would end, which foreseeably would end up not being the case. Meade said that Planet X or a planet called Nibiru would collide with Earth, however, science says otherwise. Scientists say that if there was a real threat we would have been watching these said planets for at least a decade and the planets would have been visible to the naked eye. Our current alignment doesn’t seem to be too much out of the ordinary either. Professor Anthony Aveni attributes the claims made by Meade and other Christians to be made out of boredom or to have a definitive answer to how the world will proceed. Ultimately there is no Nibiru, therefore the end of the world is most likely not going to occur tomorrow.
