Thank You
I’m sick with Laryngitis, it’s a Friday and I’m in the mood to go out but, no luck there. I’ve been trapped in my house for the last week, and I’m about to become insane. I need to get out of these four walls and the only thing that gets me partly out of here is "Slaughterhouse Five". As I’m reading Billy has gotten some laughs out of me he’s just too innocently comical. The best part is that he’s not trying to be, people who try to be never are: they try too hard. The first time I’ve laughed was when Weary is kicking Billy is laughing and the Germans can’t understand why. The one that definitely won was the last chapter, I even laughed out loud. A lady asked Billy “What he was supposed to be” (SH5pg159). Obviously the widow is seeing in his new uniform: Blue cape, silver boots, and a muff. The best part is when the lady says “ All the real soldiers are dead(SH5pg159) I just couldn’t hold it in, maybe because I wasn’t expecting it or I was just too into the book to notice, whatever it was thank you Billy Pilgrim.
