Slaughterhouse

"He was a gun nut. He left me his guns. They rust" (210). The author's style is very blunt. Sentences are short and choppy. This illustrates how Billy thinks. He can't have fully coherent thoughts anymore since the plane crash. Also when he says "they rust" I think that it goes to show what war can do to a person. He wants nothing to do with the guns or violence anymore. So he no longer goes near them. He seems to also be the opposite of his father. However, both men seem to have their thoughts and opinions and stick to them.
