Process-Writing Prompts for SL5 – Chapters 3 & 4

Remember to spend about half your words & time on SLAUGHTERHOUSE to prepare for our conversation, and spend the other half on the mudpit for your essay.

The Unholy Trinity

Sex and religion and war are constantly getting connected in this book–but by what? What is the connective tissue (or tissues) that hold these three things together?

Oh, Billy, Billy, Billy . . .

“Every so often, for no apparent reason, Billy Pilgrim would find himself weeping.” Why does he weep? Is it only for the past?

All craziness aside, is Billy a quiet hero, or kind of an idiot, or something in between? How do you read his so-it-goes, c’est la vie attitude?

Reflection on your process

What’s happening as a result of a second-draft reading? What effects are you noticing on your meaning-making process?

    it took me a longer to type this. I did half last night and half today, so I copy/pasted what I did from last night’s entry to today’s since the site won’t extend the writing period to the next day.

    I just want to mention that it turned 12:00 when i was typing and made me copy and paste the 500 words or so that I had already typed. I have a saved copy, let me know if you would like to see it. I wrote 750 words between 12:00 and 1:07, so it just cut me off too soon! Thanks!
