My favorite part of this year was learning about modernism and postmodernism. These two literary genres are both things that I see normally everyday so its really easy to relate to compared to all the other genres

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.
