"'I suppose they will all want dignity,' I said." (pg. 212)
This blog definitely enforces that all people deserved dignity. Even if they are Germans, Vonnegut shows how they deserve a certain respect for being a human being. This echoes in each character's life. However, the problem arises that not all receive the dignity that they deserve. In the bombings, completely innocent lives are lost. These people did nothing wrong except for the fact that they were German. War completely ignores this dignity. It kills indiscriminately. Vonnegut's anti-war theme rings out in this quote.
This is some good insight you have here. I knew Vonnegut's interjections were important, but your explanation helps me see their significance.
