As I read through chapter three, I began to realize the vivid imagery that Vonnegut uses to portray what life is like at the prison camp. However his images also contain satire and sarcasm. He says phrases such as "the hinged clogs were transforming his feet into blood puddings" (64) and "human beings were excreting into steel helmets" (70), to describe what is happening in the story. However, these images also hint at sarcasm as he uses amusing and absurd phrases like 'blood puddings' to give these images a lighter tone.
