While reading chapter five, I kept on thinking on who was the narrator of the book. It was really driving me crazy. Billy pilgrim's adventures distracted me and the fact that he was never happy with his life:" Are you happy here?" "About as happy as i was on earth said billy" He was in a cage, with no-one to socialize, being exposed as an object as an entertainment, normal people would be unhappy. But clearly this was as miserable as his life on earth, showing how hopeless he was. BUt the idea kept buzzing in my head.
Until... KAPOOM!!! "That was I. That was me. That was the author of this book" those words enlightened me. These words were said when Billy went to the latrine, and "an american wailed that he had excreted everything but his brains" that, my friends, was Kurt Vonnegut.
Maybe the class was right. At the end, Vonnegut would meet up with Billy in some point of the book, but why would he write about billy and not his war story?
