No Where To Be Accepted

After reading chapter 3 of Slaughterhouse-Five, I began thinking and realized that maybe Billy Pilgrim has lived a lot of moments, but he does not fit completely into any of them. I think that maybe the reason of why he is constantly closing his eyes and uncontrollably appearing in another moment, another year, and another place is because he wants to fit somewhere, he wants to feel accepted. He wants to have a comfortable moment.

“Every so often, for no apparent reason, Billy Pilgrim would find himself weeping. Nobody had ever caught Billy doing it. Only the doctor knew. It was an extremely quiet thing Billy did, and not very moist.” (Ch 3, Page 61). As I mentioned before Billy does not really fit in any moment, and there for he is sad, and that is why he is weeping. He feels disorientated, no were to be accepted. He wants to find a place where he can stay for a long time and just feel received.
