Slaughter House-Five (chapter 2)

I wasn't expecting that kind of twist in the story. At first I was ready to face a boring, monotonous novel based on war but I turned out to be completely wrong. The story is now about a guy named Billy Pilgrim who has the ability to time travel though not at his will.

Anyone musst find you crazy, if you said that you are able to time travel. As I read this chapter I found a connection with a movie called The butterfly Effect. In this movie, the main character learns to manipulate his destiny by going back to the past and changing specific events.

I've always been intrigued by the mysteries of life. For instance, knowing that whatever I do right now has and will have a different effect on the world and I wouldn't be here witting this, I for instance, I would've gotten up earlier, or I would've decided to take a nap.

If you'd posses the ability to travel through time, life would have completely different purposes. For instance, we are not supposed to see Billy's life as a proggresion of events. We have to focus in him, and how he becomes, being affected by events without any specific order.

I hope that by the end of the novel, Billy learns to control this ability at will...
