Slaughter House Five

Slaughter House Five was a wonderful book. I felt at one point that it was a autobiography of Kurt Vonnegut, but in fact it was only a twisted inspired story. The story consisted elements of war, famine, regrets, and experiences. I that Billy Pilgrim was a character not only gained from his surroundings but also manipulated it into his own. Vonnegut used the settings as a tone simultaneously. The mood of the story shifted constantly due to the rapid time change. As he time traveled, the story would take a whole new meaning.

Hitchhiking

The Hitchhiking Game is very abstract. It is a very realistic emotional story, but it can also be disturbing. In the book, she takes a metamorphosis. Her transformation though is not one of form but of emotion. She had become someone that she was normally not known for and thus took an immense toll. The man had done it to himself. He could only blame himself for pushing her away. In fact, he stood by as her transformation took place. He let it happen and did nothing to make it better or change it. Thus ruining and tearing their relationship from the state that it was before.

To Time Travel

In Slaughter House Five, Billy Pilgram is able to time travel. The way he time travels, though, is confusing. The events that take place are abstract from the storyline. Time travel is a philosophical theory. To time travel, one is able to relive those moments that have gone by and to witness what lies ahead of them. Can time travel be dangerous? Absolutely, because you can experience something you never realized was there. If you knew the outcome, would you still want to time travel? Would you regret ever doing it? All great things can have a consequence.
