Time Travelling Problems

Billy Pilgrim is having a problem, he is changing and moving around the different parts of his life without being able to control it. I found it very interesting how in the middle of the war he begins to loose it, he starts to move chronologically from his birth all the way to his older years. This reminds me of the movie called The Butterfly Effect where the main character also has time changes and re-lives parts of his life when he was a little boy. By going back to his childhood moments he is able to change the present he lives in. Here we can see how Billy can go back in time but unlike the movie I saw, he can also see what may be the future.

Another thing very interesting that happens here is that he is stuck in the middle of the war while he has these time changes. You might say he’s trying to escape the war by going to another part of his life. Again, in the movie I mentioned before, the character can control when he moves back in time, so If he is in a situation he doesn’t like, he escapes by time travelling. This may be the case in this book, even though Billy isn’t able to escape the situation.
