Chapter 4

The Tralfamadorian thought of time emphasizes the role of fate in shaping existence and completely rejects free will. When Billy is kidnapped, he understands fate has really set itself into his life and already has it's mind made up. Billy’s question “Why me?” reveals the limits of human consciousness. Time: if we think so much of it why cant we control it? Because if we control it we control fate. the universe has already chose what we rule and what rules us. we rule: nothing and fate rules: what is meant to end.

Chapter 3

"Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future."
I guess my last thought was wrong according to this quote. Change is futile in destiny. The heavens have your entire life mapped out? Why if spontaneity is practically the purpose of life? Well i guess it works for us because we're not the heavens (yet). Billy's unexpected visitors make Vonnegut list billys inconsequential entire life as if it were mere words which to billy they would be.

Chapter Two

To find balance in life is hard to do and/or hard to recuperate. I say this because Billy in his leaps through time he loses focus of what is going on as many of us do. We let moments pass us by due to "dilly dallying" because we lose the goal of the moment. We see Billy all at once his beginning his middle and almost his end; Which is how we wish to see ourselves instead of wait for the moment to know whats going to happen. But why do the people who say they can not see everything but one generalized moment and not so far into the future? Is it because destiny works like a stone skipping on the water? wakes affecting other wakes representing moments in your life?

Chapter 1

"why don't you write a book about glaciers?"
Chapter 1 although it's a sort of prologue its the end of the book. In the sense that it tells the end and that he used this as part of his book and not as in introduction even though it is autobiographical. there must have been a reason this was chapter one and not "Introduction" i think it was because his story is very important in his life so instead of separating he had to mix them together to create " his life".
