Blog post 1: Autobiography

Kurt Vonnegut was considered one of the most influential novelists of the twentieth century. His works were a blend of black comedy, satire, and science fiction.

The most significant impact of his life was when he fought in the U.S. Army and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. After the battle, Vonnegut was captured and held prisoner of war. He could never forget what he saw in Germany when it was destroyed. He escaped after working in a meat locker making vitamin pills with other prisoners.

These happenings later influenced his works of literature, as some of them were about war. His works of literature were well known, as people admired his mix of humor, satire, and science fiction.
