"Why me?"

Talfamadorians and flying saucers. I think this chapter is overrated, it begins with our friend Billy on the night of her daughters wedding day time traveling. But he cant sleep because he knows the Tralfamadorians will pick him up in no time so he decides to go down stairs grab a bottle of champagne, he thinks about all the violence and war around the world and its humanity, and his thoughts end up again with Adam and Eve. He waits in the yard for his friends to pick him up. The flying saucer arrives and as he goes up he is asked if he has any questions and he asks "why me?" this reminds me of the movie "The knowing" This movie actually mentions many of the points in the chapter. Its about a girl that writes some numbers and puts them away in a time capsule. When they open the time capsule years later they find that all the numbers in the paper are actually dates of massive accidents, then the day arrives were everyone in the world is going to die, and a flying saucer picks up to kids and takes them to a new world were they become Adam and Eve. It mentions violence, flying saucers and Adam and Eve just like the chapter although the overall idea has nothing to do with the chapter key words make them both share similarities
The picture is actually a picture a boy drew for hi weekend project about "Slaughterhouse five" and I found it on another blog.

And so it goes..

  1. Cool find. I;m not sure what you're assuming about this chapter's reception. Remeber you're not evaluating the book in terms of good or bad. You're trying to figure it out, narrate your own reaction, talk about the reaction of others, etc.

    Also, there's some mechanical issues here.
    Slaughterhouse five
    Talfamadorians
    Its about
