While reading pages 119-136, Billy Pilgrim reaches a state of indifference with his wife, Valencia. He does not tell her his experiences of war with enthusiasm, but more likely in an unconcerned way. At least Billy had a millionaire father-in-law who gave him a new Buick Roadmaster, and an apparently happy future. During their honeymoon it is sad that Valencia thought she was never going to marry. She must be really ugly, but wealthy. That is the only reason she got married. Why does the author call people Earthlings even though the event is not taking place in Trafalmadore?
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
This lapid might mean the time while Billy was dosed with the morphine. Even the Coronel envied him, being half dead and still counting as alive.
After his trip through time travel and the dose of morphine, the Russian captive helped this crazy American “scarecrow” to untie itself from the barbed wire. This could mean various international relationships between both countries interpreted in as simple a scene as going to the bathroom.
The sight in the latrine really wasn’t necessary, just to introduce the author into the story. It is the first time I read a piece of work where the author narrates another character, and suddenly gets himself into the story through this character. After this, did Billy really mean that he missed his wife? In my opinion, he just missed the period of peace and tidiness.
I belief it is a penetrating simile used by comparing people sleeping, with spoons resting. Basically it causes impression because it does look similar and makes a perfect image of people sleeping.
What impresses me the most is the opening sentence of Howard W. Campbell, Jr. This sentence reflects the whole way of thinking of this person; the problem is that the truth is completely opposite. For instance, when he discusses the uniform of the American soldiers, it reflects a point contradicting his first opening sentence. This politician really does not make sense.
The theory that Mr. Trout helped Billy create his own world may be proved by the appearance of Montana Wildhack on Trafalmadore.
