Maybe a stupid question, but I've always wondered how they translated the "rented a tent, rented a tent, rented a rented a tent..." quote from Sirens of Titan. Does this joke work in languages without stress-timing?

Love this book, one of my favs

Hey everybody, as an english literature assignment i had to pick a book and do a presentation for the rest of the class about it (i chose slaughterhouse-five). For the final part of the presentation we have to do an activity with the class. Since slaughterhouse five is a very difficult book to explain, i decided to go on a more broad route. I am going to show some quotes from the book and simply discuss them with the class. What are some quotes from the novel that could bring up interesting discussions? It can be literally anything. Thanks in advance!
