German Camp

Have you ever thought in what other creatures exist outside of our planet? I have... Billy has too, with the Tralfamadorians. He gets taken and talks about the similarities and differences between humans and Tralfamadores. For example when they talk about the texts of Tralfamadore which are viewed all at one to represent how beautiful life is instead of viewing one after another. "What we love about are books is the depths of the many marvelous moments all seen at one time" (Page 88) Suddenly, he appears in the world war again after being in total darkness in the Grand Canyon being only twelve years old. At the moment Billy is captured by the Germans still and taken to a camp, where several Englishmen are too. 

He meets a guy named Eliot Rosewater, which like Billy, finds no sense to life at all. They talk about their families and experiences during the war since they are together in the camp. Billy is in that cabin do to his shrieking in the cinderella play (honestly, how funny can a cinderella play be haha). As seen in previous parts of the book we see a lot of changes in time, the expression so it goes, and deep description of several situations. I found very important that they mention a turning point in Billy´s life, which was when his father died and Billy stopped living like before: was not in the top of his class anymore, hated life, etc. Certain gaps start filling in throughout the reading of "Slaughterhouse Five" which apparently will continue happening. Lastly, once more I noticed how everybody's life is shaped by the experiences and turning moments that they have had to live due to luck, if there is such a thing.
