Is Kurt Vonnegut also represented by Kilgore Trout. Billy goes to a book shop and one of the stories the books have are the story of two earthlings that would taken to the zoo in Tralfamadoria. He also talks about 4th dimension and life and death,"So it goes," Vonnegut represents himself in many characters in the book, maybe because he wants to show his life at war from different perspectives. These characters all represent the different stages Billy lived when he was in the war. Mabe all the characters that in some way, are simmilar to Vonnegut together are what he really was in the war.

Sad happy moments
"If this sort of selectivity had been possible for Billy, he might have chosen as his happiest moment his sun-drenched snooze in the back of the wagon." (195) Billy's happiest moment in his life is so sad. I cant believe of all he has lived this moment as his happiest. It s kind of melancholic to think that Billy's life has been so miserable, with so little emption that his happiest moments are very simple. If anyone else heard this moment they would not even think it is the favorite moment in ones life. Billy Pilgrim has a very hard life because he knows everything that will happen, good or bad, and can't do anything to prevent it. He sees all evil and he cant do anything about it. His life is dull, it has no surprises because he always knows what is going to happen and he is not scared either because he will know what bad things will happen to him so he can have some time to be mentally prepared. In this chapter I found out that Billy's life is so hard nobody would understand him so his secret is kept and accumulated each time more deep inside him. He is lonely in this planet, he basically doesn't have anybody with whom he can talk to.
