"With the help of fear and echoes and winter silences, that dog had a voice like a big bronze gong."
In chapter 4 Vonnegut uses the characteristics of the setting to his advantage. He uses similes throughout his writing to improve the image the reader receives. Comparing the dog's bark to "a big bronze gong" gives the reader the idea of a loud bark that echoes across the cold barren landscape of winter. Utilizing the power of similes, Vonnegut created a vibrant and interactive story for the reader and emphasizes the power, qualities, and different aspects of objects in his writing.
