“the big trip up yonder” aka “tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow”

 

READ the late, great Kurt Vonnegut’s short story “The Big Trip Up Yonder” aka “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” and in no less than 3 pages dissect it to get to the core of what Vonnegut is trying to say.  Look at plot, character, setting and POV.  How do these lead to the theme of the piece?  What is the theme?  What does this story say about humanity and the human condition? Use direct quotes from the text to back your points and make sure to cite them.  If you use outside sources I’ll need citations and a bib.
