Johnny cyberpunk

The story is about a man who knows some sort of information that everyone wants to know. The information is such a big deal that people are after him so he must stay on the run. I get this impression because of the beginning line of the story saying that johnny was packing a shotgun in his bag.

Slaughterhouse chp. 6

I found this chapter very confusing. I found out though that the US becomes 20 nations and billy dies but after goes back in time. The time warping is really beginning to confuse me and I'm losing track of what is happening.

Slaughterhouse five chp. 5

- Billy is held in a zoo on tramalfador where he is asked questions.
- Billy states that he is just as happy in the zoo as he is on earth.
- said that statement that billy gives a good thing or bad thing?
-the universe ends when a tramalfadorian pilot accidentally blows it up.
-the tralmafadors explain to billy that they will never stop the pilot from blowing the universe up because it's structured that way.

Slaughterhouse five chp. 4

- Billy waits in his backyard to be abducted by the tralmafadors.
- why is weary blaming billy for his death?
- Why dies lazzaro want to avenge weary?
- why does Vonnegut keep travelling in time to random areas?

Postmodernism idea

I want to somehow put a collage or video of something ironic or humorous similar to the videos our Student teacher showed us.

Slaughterhouse five chp.3

- Billy and Weary are captured by German soldiers and forced to surrender there valuables.
- Why does Billy see Adam and eve in the boots.
- Do Billy time jumps mean anything?
- The German soldiers stage a capture to look good.

Slaughterhouse five chp.2

- Billy states that he has become unstuck in time, what does that mean?
- Is Billy really traveling in time or is he just dreaming?
- Billy seems to be going through his life as if nothing really affects him.
- What is making Billy believe that he is traveling to Tralmafador?
- How does using Tralmafador relate to this story?

Slaughter house five chp.1

-Billy decides to write a book about his experiences in Dresden.
- Billy talks about what happened in Dresden as if it were humorous but at the same time says it's serious.
- What is Billy's view on his time in Dresden?
- Who is the narrator of the story because it sounds as in the author is telling it.
