Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

The people who were already on the continent, who were already living full and imaginative lives, were copper-colored. For instance, it explains that in this country color means everything. According to Vonnegut, the problem that he satirizes through racism is to show how human interpretation is dependent upon visible matter, character, and color rather than trying to understand how meaningful they are.

To begin with, color is the most innocent judgment that people used to indentify everything especially, the U.S.

Vonnegut's satire seems centralized and is not a coincidence it is his impoliteness, anger, and criticism which ultimately imply to the American culture that its citizens need to recognize their flaws, chaos, and bad thinking in order to make a turn in society for the better. These targets can be made clear when one considers the implications of how damaging they are to the nation's people. Based on these basic elements of national assumptions, it seems that Breakfast of Champions is satirizing the American culture in regards to race, class, gender, jingoism, history, and environmentalism.

Moreover, these crises are indicative of what Vonnegut sees as the flaws in American life. This satire emerges when one identifies the patterns of thought (assumptions) that distinguish individuals as active participates in the convoluted conflicts of American culture. Kurt Vonnegut's 1973 novel Breakfast of Champions satirizes many aspects of American ideology.
