Reflection

In Manuela's blog, she talks about the exemplified Tralfamadorian life. She mentions how through BIlly Pilgrim in different situations, these morals or rules for way of life are transmitted. The interesting situation that she chooses is the promise of Paul Lazzaro, about avenging his buddy Weary by killing Billy. After giving his powerful speech at Chicago, he knew he would soon be dead, assuring it to the crowd with this quote: "I, Billy Pilgrim, the tape begins, will die, have died, and always will die on February thirteen, 1976." (page 141) I found very interesting how at the end of her blog she mentions that Billy died being at peace with himself, learning the lesson of fate and how he would eventually live again. You can clearly see the analysis on her words and way of writing, which really amazed me. It has very similar points of view in comparison to my blog, which I find cool and satisfactory in certain way. To see others blogs really makes one reflect on the different situations on the book more carefully and if the points of view differ, it also helps to make up your mind.
