The book I’m reviewing is Dogteam by Gary Paulsen. Gary Paulsen was born on 17th of May 1939 in Minneapolis; Minnesota. Paulsen was a book lover from his childhood. He developed the love for reading at a young age. When he got his first book issued from the library he would go to his basement of his house and read it without non-stop. In the book Dogteam Gary Paulsen brings us the sounds, colors, coldness, and exhilaration of a nighttime run with sledge dogs in the picture book “Dogteam.” Paulsen almost uses sentence fragments in this work, and the text comes across almost like poetry as it emphasizes the dogs! The dogs have an instinct just running. The dogs are single-minded, seeking only the thrill of the run, so the text provided focus

Although Slaughterhouse-Five may not be filled with delightful satire and comical scenes, there are accounts which the force the reader to laugh. In one instance, an extremely drunk Billy Pilgrim is searching desperately for the steering wheel of his car: "He was in the backseat of his car, which is why he couldn't find the steering wheel," Vonnegut writes (47). In another episode, Billy becomes "unstuck" in time while watching television, so that he sees a war film backwards and then forwards. The most humorous sequence takes place when Billy travels from the zoo on Tralfamadore to his wedding night with his wife, Valencia. He wakes up to find himself in the German prison camp. He then finds himself back with Valencia after returning from the bathroom. He goes to sleep, then wakes up on a train on the way to his father's funeral.
