Topic Suggestions
Corpses
Vonnegut says one-third of his class was corpses as far as he was concerned. What does he mean by this? Many students are offended by this remark. Why? On the other hand, many people point out that Mr. Vonnegut is only speaking honestly. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why?
General Education
Colleges have general education requirements, among them English 1A, for graduation. Why do these requirements exist? Are they necessary? If so, why? If no, why not? Consider Vonnegut’s college life and professional experience in your discussion. Does it matter whether or not a person can compose an English essay and read a thick book, or are these skills that most of us can live without? If I am a math major why do I need to take English? What would Kurt Vonnegut say about general education requirements? Did they benefit him? How did his studies in chemistry and anthropology affect his writing?
Worth It? Why Bother?
What are some good reasons for going to college or not going to college? Is college worth the expense? Think here of the gentleman who explained his poor performance by saying, Dont you know, father?
