“‘What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous
moments seen al l at one time’” (Vonngut 60).
I am fond of
this citation because it tells us a large number about the lifestyle of the
Tralfamadorians. The Tralfamadorians see the past, present and future all at
once. This is shown through the phrase, “the depths of many marvelous moments
seen all at one time.” Their literature fits their way of society perfectly. They
have no free will or free choice to write or do anything. They already know
what will happen and what they will chose to do. We are a diverse society, and
we have free choice and free will. This is very evident in our earthling
novels. We have all different themes, styles and genres. My favorite theme
would be adventure and autobiographies because it has actually happened to that
person. I feel as if Vonnegut is telling me that different cultures have
different themes and genres to their literature because they live in a
different society. Just because we do not see “eye to eye” with that culture,
does not always mean it is wrong.
