We see how Chaya flashes back to the future, and back to the past in time.

They dressed up in fancy outfits such as dresses, and never wore overalls or breeches, which is what Scout prefers. Girls were stereotypically seen as weaker than boys, and Scout’s brother, Jem makes it evident to Scout when she is acting like a “girl”. Jem shames her by stating, “Scout, I’m tellin’ you for the last time, shut your trap or go home-I declare to the lord you’re getting’ more like a girl everyday!”(Lee 69).

The sexism is often subtle but is always effective in getting the point across that you should just “act like a lady” or “man up.” For example Scout,a young girl that dresses like a “tomboy”, is constantly asked queries such as “What are you doing in those overalls?” You should be in a dress and camisole, young lady.

Such as in Goodbye Darkness there were sometimes where Manchester brought humor or was not all serious such as when he talked about sex and his virginity. In Slaughterhouse 5, even though it is seen as a fantasy novel there are parts in this novel that displays facts and Vonnegut’s memoir.
