    Slaughter House-Five

    • 1236 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut, is a novel in which the laws of physics are broken -- apparently. Billy Pilgrim, the main character, is loose in time and is free, though not in control, to experience any moment of his life, including the moments before he was born and after he dies (experienced as hues with sustained sounds). At random times in the main sequence of his life he literally jumps to other times, something which he is fully aware of. He can be on Tralfamadore one moment, back on earth with his wife the next. This could be puzzling to the cursory reader, but Vonnegut makes sure to spell out his reasons why such events can be believed as realistic and perceived as happening, to some extent, to everyone everywhere -- at all times.…

    Hitchcock for his film Psycho (1960) gave a very catchy introduction in the trailer which prompted people to watch the movie. Hitchcock called the sinister looking house in Psycho California ginger bread, a house quite common in northern California where the events took place. The 6 minute trailer again showcased Hitchcock’s public image as a macabre comedian. To emphasise the story’s unexpectable shocking turn of events, the director instated/established it to be seen from the very beginning and hence patrons were not permitted after the beginning of the film. Even newspapers and magazine reviewers were not given special screening. Hitchcock employed promotional tactics which may appear gimmicky but encourages viewers to see Psycho.…
