Aliens

Billy Pilgrim had a life full of adventures. He had a lot of time traveling and was able to in some words re-live his life moments. But throughout all the time travels Billy Pilgrim does not feel fully complete and accepted in each of the moments. In a way he feels lost like for example when he sees his son in the toilet with a guitar in his hands. This made me realize that maybe Billy pilgrim as not been there for his family. He is just there, without being interested in the past, present nor future.

Through the Trafalmadorians teaching and wisdom, Billy has learned that bad things happen and that the most important thing is that he lives the good moments to the maximum. That he really takes advantage of them. Also he learns that the idea of being dead just happens for one moment in one place. And that he may be dead for that moment in that place, but that everywhere else where he had been before he is still alive and that he still has to live those moments.

The Trafalmadorians are really weird people; they are kind of aliens and can be easily be connected and related to the science fiction stories of Kilengore Trout. Since he mentions the aliens. And to some degree I can come to think that those stories that he is writing about can be the sories of Billy Pilgrim in some points of his life.
