"Poo-tee-weet?"

The most interesting part of Slaughter House-Five was all the questions we were always facing. Thats why I was looking forward to the end to get answers to this questions. When I got to the end of this book I didn't felt like I actually finished it. Why? I felt like it would had a sequel in which I would get the answers, which obviously is no the case with Slaughter House-Five. Even though some questions were answered, most of the were not. In the book we did got the answer to is Billy the alter ego of Vonnegut? At the end of the book we found out that they were separate persons in the story.

Other than that I also think sometimes having unanswered questions is what made the book unique. Most of the books, you know what the stories are behind all the crazy things that happened. But maybe thats not such a good thing. That just might be the purpose of Vonnegut, for us to have questions. "Poo-tee-weet?" This is the last sentence of the book, this is what makes me think that Vonnegut's purpose is exactly that, for us to have questions. If not, why would he end his novel with the readers having more doubts?
