... were imagery, plot/action, and characters. Using these interpretive elements helps to give basis to my interpretation. Kingston's novel abounds with imagery, from the ghosts and barbarians, to the different colors (black, white, and red). Every “talk-story” has a place and meaning and every character is presented in a way to clarify Kingston's motives for writing.

Of these, my interpretation best fulfills the ev ...

... and turned to. When Billy was going to be taken from his ship Captain Graveling was not happy about it, "Lieutenant, you are going to take away my best man from me, the jewel of 'em" (Melville 46). Billy was then removed from the ship. His goodbye was thought of as rather odd though. He left the Rights-of-Man waving a "genial goodbye". (Melville 49) Many would be devastated if they were forced to serve their country but Billy looked at it as an opportunity to gain new experiences (Ellis), "He rather liked this adventurous turn in affairs, which promised an opening into novel scenes and martial excitements" (Melville ...

... simply proves that Algernon and Charlie are used as objects in an experiment. Both, Charlie Gordon and Algernon, were treated of no worth until they became smart.

... behind the book. One way to analyze this is to pick a particular point of view. The way I believe that Vonnegut is telling the story is through a dream sequence. I believe that Billy is dreaming and that when he comes across a disturbing memory he leaps into another time period, another dream. By leaping through time you stay out of reality. It's like being in another world without actually being there. This is the best and easiest way to get away from in all. Billy's seems to have many unpleasant memories and each time one surfaces he goes back or forward in time. If someone died, or something didn't go t ...
