Slaughter House 5
The book itself seems somewhat confusing and misleading like Annacha said. This doesn’t take away from the value, and “likeability” of the literature. Chapter 3 was a collection of different time warps, but it mainly focused on the entrapment that Billy had to face. The imprisonment takes place in Germany. The prisoners trek through miles of excruciatingly cold walking. When Billy jumps again to a different period, it symbolizes the freedom from pain

I like how you pointed out that time jumps are a symbol of pain. The jumps that we've read about so far stem from the pains of being a soldier. Then, we notice that many of the destinations Billy arrives at in time are experiences of pain in his life
(a sick mother, his dad's baptism by fire mentality). Will he ever get a break?
