Ch. 10 - Implied Metaphor

In the final chapter of the book, on the last page the birds are curpping and 'talking' as the soldiers come out of their quarters in Dresden. The little bird says to Billy "Poo-tee-weet"(215). In the beginning of the novel, Vonnegut makes sure that the audience knows that talk about war really isn't that important. So, when I read that the bird talked to Billy on D-Day in Europe in made complete sense that Vonnegut was trying to imply a meaning or rather a comparison about how birds talking is about as exciting as the topic of war.
