Slaughterhouse-Five: Personification

"The one flame ate everything organic, everything that would burn." (pg. 176)

The fire bombing of Dresden has begun. The fire is being personified as a hungry beast. It is engulfing everything in flames. It is eating everything and it is spreading fast. These fires are horrible, and many people are killed. Also, Americans bombers are to leave nothing behind. They even shoot at fellow Americans. That is awful, but it was apart of the war. This war damaged Billy on the inside. It changed his life forever, and he would never be the same again.
