Tralfamadores

Through the pages 23 and 53 of the book Slaughter House five they refer to Billy. He suffered a nervous break down after a plane crash therefore everybody believed that he was crazy. He talked about some strange creatures called Tralfamadores and how they lived differently from humans. They had different perceptions of past, present and future. They also mention how he got married and what he did while he was in World War II being sent to be a replacement. He was slower than everybody and didn't realize that he was in a war he just walked normally giving their position away always. His step father was a genius and he gave Billy the job and business for which he didn't care much after several years.

I like the way that the author makes the characters express themselves, sometimes with vulgar language which makes the reader identify the situation better and make it more real. What is a bit strange is when they jump from one scene to another like when he goes to the tralfamadores in a microsecond the day of Barbara (his daughter) was getting married. Kurt Vonnegut has a great perception of real life situations and makes the text suspenseful and real so that the reader identifies the situation which for me is the most important especially the relation between Roland Weary the other two musketeers and Billy. It ends with Billy finally giving the team away by making Roland saves Billy even though Billy says he is O.K. Good luck Billy.....
