This is the conclusion of Jeon’s essay

On the brink of an execution, Orwell points out the value of life. In doing so, he points an accusatory finger at how unjust it is to treat people with such indignity and notes how it not only dehumanises the victims, but also the victimisers.

My essay

THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE BY KURT VONNEGUT

MS30438 LEE SEUNG BUM

In today’s society, people want something special and unique. Some want something remarkable, some want something ridiculous, and others just want more. As in modern society, people want something special when it comes to reading books. Authors, therefore, try to stand out either in the content of their books or by making their conclusion special; however, the intro of the book is what defines the book as a whole. Intro, a written or spoken explanation at the beginning of a book, is a paramount part in a book. In Kurt Vonnegut’s slaughterhouse-five, the author wrote an exceptional introduction, which is different from other commonly written intros. Vonnegut shows the progress of which he wrote the book and some of the seemingly incomprehensible imagery. Vonnegut’s intro is not just a simple explanation of the book. The “fire-bombing of Dresden,” (P1) one of the terrible disasters in the history, “[All this] happened, more or less.” (P1) After I recognized the book’s topic by interest, I thought it was another atrocious, “blood and tears” (P10) fiction with a reversal; however, the base of intro was noticeably different from other books. Vonnegut’s intro writing was totally different from other writers’. An ordinary writer would use the Intro as an introduction of the book and rarely as an author’s note, but Vonnegut chose his words to be Chapter 1 of his book. Vonnegut wrote about his own experience of the Dresden fire-bombing. He was attended forcibly into Dresden and after the war ended he came back to America and became an author. In his intro, Vonnegut meets his old friend from Dresden and discusses about the fire-bombing. He symbolizes the cruelty of war by referring to it as the “Children’s Crusade.” (P2) Commonly, other writers write intros about their book with aimed purposes such as criticizing the modern society. Vonnegut wrote his autobiography during conceptualizing this book; the concept of “fire-bombing of Dresden.” Furthermore, peculiarly, he displayed the first sentence: “Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time,” (P22) and the last sentence: “Poo-tee-weet?” (P22) Actually, most readers would ignore the author’s note, because they don’t think it is important; however, Vonnegut wrote his own words as an intro of his book so that the readers could be more interested not in the war imagery but in what he really wants to speak to us. Then why should we read his intro? After I read his intro, my concentration rose because my brain had recognized the whole conceptual line of this book. First, he showed us the progress of writing this book. Actually, progress doesn’t give us a route to how to read on. Also he gave us meaningless imageries. Imageries usually symbolize something; however, he just made us to get into the “circle of white.” (p 87) Lastly, he showed us his own dilemma. He wrote that his book Slaughterhouse-5 is a “failure,” (p 13) because there is nothing glamorous or interesting to write about a massacre. Consequently, his intro made us to hold out no little hope for such as display or expression of the war. Then we could understand his message, “War is nothing.” The main character “[Billy Pilgrim] has come unstuck in time,” (P22) and the story line is tangled up. Also the story’s main point is not on “the war,” (P14) itself, but rather on what happens to Billy Pilgrim before and after the war. These points are linked to Vonnegut’s purpose of his book; to de-glamorize the war, unlike any other anti-war novels. Vonnegut didn’t display what war is or how war is nauseating and diabolical. there isn’t a single imagery that depicts the atrocities of war: blood and gore. Nevertheless, Vonnegut expressed the massacre, the “cruelty” (P 19) of war, with a seemingly void serenity. How did Vonnegut show us his point? He did so by inserting his autobiography during conceptualizing this book. Vonnegut talked with his wartime friend, O’Hare, about the “Children’s Crusade”; a secondary title of this book, which symbolizes how young they were when the fire-bombing of Dresden occurred and also of their lack of knowledge about the war because they were too young. This was how his brain firstly recognized the concept of the voidness of war. Then he gained superabundant self-esteem toward his knowledge of Dresden accident. O’Hare’s wife, who was listening to their conversation, was dumbfounded when she heard their opinions about Dresden, because they “were just babies then.” (P 16) She recalls the fact that their experiences were not so profound as what Vonnegut talked about. After the conversation, Vonnegut takes another step in writing his book, but again he comes up with a seeming failure. It was not about how he wrote the book, but just that his subject, the Dresden bombing, was a nonentity, non-definable concept, and Vonnegut had nothing in his brain. Finally, he just displayed his own brain to us with empty consequences.  The definition of a successful or a non-successful novel is among the base like the intro. Intro is the made pathway for readers, a compressed storyline and sometimes imply the author’s ultimate purpose. So readers can read i  t more understandably and comfortably with preoccupation. Vonnegut’s unique skill hammered his point, “War is nothing,” to our mind so that our comprehension about this book would increase and neglect the tantalizing imagery of war: blood and gore.

Music that world should listen

창문너머엔 슬픈 비가 내리고 Past the window, a sad rain falls
문 뒤로 부는 바람은 창가의 The wind that blows behind the
눈물을 훔쳐내고 door steals the tears of the window
널 위해 준비했던 선물들 The gifts I prepared for you,
고백이 담긴 편지는 the letter with my confession./ They have
갈 곳 없이 먼지만 품고 있어 nowhere to go and are only gathering dust

누가 내 맘을 알아주려나 Who will know my heart?
누가 내 말을 들어주려나 Who will listen to my words?
날 녹여주던 그 손길도 Those hands that melted me,
부드러운 목소리도 that soft voice./ The fact that those
이젠 내 것이 아니라는 게 things aren’t mine anymore
오늘따라 더 힘들다 Gives me a hard time especially today

맘에 비가 온다 It’s raining in my heart,
비가 온다 차갑게 it’s raining coldly
맘에 비가 온다 It’s raining in my heart,
비가 온다 오늘도 it’s raining again today

방안에 어두운 그림자가 내리고
달빛에 비친 시계는 헤어지던
날에 멈춰있고
널 위해 살아왔던 많은
시간들 너를 안던 가슴은
주인 없이 바람만 품고 있어
A dark shadow comes down in my room
The clock that shines with the moonlight
has stopped at the day we broke up
The times I lived for you, my heart that held you
They have no owner and
are only embracing the wind

누가 내 맘을 알아주려나
누가 내 말을 들어주려나
내 거칠어진 입술마저
차가워진 가슴마저
여전히 너만 찾고 있어서
오늘따라 더 그립다
Who will know my heart?
Who will listen to my words?
Even my rough lips,
even my cold heart
Still look for only you
I miss you even more today

맘에 비가 온다
비가 온다 차갑게
맘에 비가 온다
비가 온다 오늘도
It’s raining in my heart, it’s raining coldly
It’s raining in my heart, it’s raining again today

이젠 볼 수 없다는 걸
난 잘 알고 있는데
다시 여기에 올 것만 같애
비바람이 몰아치는데 피할 곳이
없어 가슴이 언다 그만
Now I know that I can’t see you but
It feels like you’ll come here again
The rain falls and the wind blows
But there is no place to hide
and my heart freezes

맘에 비가 온다
비가 온다 차갑게
맘에 비가 온다
비가 온다 오늘도
It’s raining in my heart,
it’s raining coldly
It’s raining in my heart,
it’s raining again today

널 위해 준비했던 선물들
고백이 담긴 편지는
갈 곳 없이 먼지만 품고 있어
The gifts I prepared for you,
the letter with my confession./ They have
nowhere to go and are only gathering dust

The reason why I choose this song to make the world to hear is that this song is giving an impression to each person’s mind when they have some trouble. For example, this week 3-4’s best friend(his nickname is pig, actually I made it…) Sim Jae Kyung is leaving us, going to U.S.A. I think this song will make me everytime to think about him after he leaves. Now, I can’t feel the sadness, I just think it is the lie, but it’s true and this is the real world, meating and leaving is the truthness of the life, and this song will recognizes us to be calm.

My own legacy, three-hundred years later
– Legacy is the thing that I left for my descendant, and I have a desire to make my legacy an invaluable thing. There will be no books and soccerballs after 300years. Reason why is that all the IT programming will solve all the human’s desire. The soccerball and the book will be valued same as the diamond right now. Book is the one of the factor that made human more inteligent. Also the soccerball is one ball that made people happy, playing with teams and enjoying the game with passionate.

Sublime

 Over the past three weeks, I and my friends had really great moments. In that respect is one exceptional moment that we possessed, it was just going on yesterday. Last week, we had a basketball competition with class 3. We lose grisly. So we practiced with blaming passionate. Actually, we had a great individual skill, however our chemical was not good. Yesterday was the day. We held a competition with class 2. I played in the fourth quarter. We had a great possession. I hit one goal with lay-up. We had some fight with class 2 but after the competition, we reconciled. In the end, we win with enormous point difference. It was a truly memorable event that I experienced with my classmates.
