"The Secret Letter"-From Iraq-Slaughterhouse-Five
On the contrary to the piece published by Kurt Vonnegut, the "Secret Letter" by anonymous has some similarities with Slaughterhouse-Five. Like how K.Vonnegut is not very fond of going to war, having to do with anything. Like Slaughterhouse-Five, the Secret Letter form Iraq contains various amounts of deja vu. Examples from Slaughterhouse Five: Billy pilgrim has deja vu thoughts of tralfamadore and has very disturbed mind. from "Secret Letter": the soldier accounts his deja vu while arriving in Fallujah and noticing that it was a home to several midgets. 26 midgets to be exact. Both characters of each piece were individualized by what each of them had to go through like war, different accounts of deaths, deja vu, and considering different beliefs. Both pieces Slaughterhousehouse Five and Secret Letter from Iraq were of different stories but were similar in thoughts and encountering different events and beliefs.
