.... and will realize the pirates obviously answered the question wrong. To begin, conflicts on the voyage arose because of opposing viewpoints. For example, Squire Trewlawny took an immediate dislike to Captain Smallet and that was just one of the problems the characters had to deal with on board.

Even the smallest things, like the alcohol, symbolized old ways (beer) and something new (Anes del Toro) in the two peoples relationship. This story also gives you images of the happenings going on in the story. “The station between two lines of rails” gave you the image of a choice of which track or option in ....

.... had excreted everything but his brains...That was I. That was me.” This statement clearly illustrates that the narrator and Billy are not the same person. The narrator was the American disgusted by Billy. Vonnegut places the narrator in the novel in subtle ways. While describing the German prisoner trains, he merely states, “I was there.” By not referring to Billy as I, Billy is immediately an individual person. I is the narrator, while Billy is Billy. Their single connection is that they were both in the war. Kurt Vonnegut places his experiences and his views in the text. He begins the book by stating, “All this happened, more or less. ....

Once this happens, the story does make sense and does serve a purpose. The main conflict of the story revolves around Caddy's promiscuity. Each character take ....

He chews tobacco and spits brown gunk all over the place. He first appears in the story to request that Wil help him get his car out of the mud. Then Emil reappears to fix the plumbing,wrecking Wil's parents' nerves in the process. The atmosphere in the story is that of a small hick town in northern Wisconsin:open,friendly,relaxed and very laid-back.
