Chapter two
reflects on “time travel.” Naturally, people think about the movie Back to the Future, but I thought
differently. What if Billy Pilgrim is not actually going back in time, but
instead having flashbacks? I thought of the movie Big Fish. The main character, Edward Bloom, is having
recollections of his life before his death. What if Billy Pilgrim is having
flashbacks instead of going back in time? While reading the chapter, I began to
doubt my brilliant theory about flashbacks. Vonnegut seemed to emphasize the
idea of time travel especially in the quote, “Billy blinked in 1965, traveled
in time to 1958” (45). Billy Pilgrim gives credit to his green friends on
Tralfamadore for the time traveling. Therefore, a supernatural force is helping
Billy travel through time or Billy hit his head really hard. Why does it always
come back to Back to the Future?
( I know that almost all of my posts have some connection to movies, but I love movies and they are the first idea that comes to my mind!)
