Dialect in Chapter 5

     Dialect is defined as a way of speaking that is characteristic of a certain geographical area.  In chapter five as the Americans were waiting to move out, one of the Americans said something that guard who knew English did not like.  The guard took the American out of the ranks and knocked him down.  Astonished, the American "stood up shakily, spitting blood.  He'd had two teeth knocked out.  He had meant no harm by what he'd said, evidently, had no idea that the guard would hear and understand. 'Why me?' he asked the guard.  The guard shoved him back into the ranks.  'Vy you?  Vy anybody?' he said."
     The German guard speaks English, answering the American's question, incorporating a little bit of the German language in there.  While I was reading it, I laughed because it seemed Vonnegut was making fun of the guards attempt to speak English.
