Maybe Vonnegut wanted us to challenge the norms in life after reading this book, he obviously is a very humorous writer who can change our opinion of life in a very dramatic way. He writes and talks with a lot of humor, and maybe this is just him telling us to do something in his unique funny little way. I'm not really sure how to conclude this thought I guess, like Vonnegut I just want to leave a little something away with you readers something you can think about and maybe act on.

Leaving something behind
In the book I see a few small different things, it seems as if each character is already given a script and follows that script, their is not a lot of free will, free determination, I see each character cast by Billy. The Tralfamadorians tell Billy that the thought of free will is one earthlings don't understand. Does that encourage Billy to break free from the norm, after all he was told he must go to war, he was drafted meaning he had no choice, no option to say no. The world told him what to do, he never had a chance to fight back. In my opinion Billy uses his new knowledge to fight against pain and age and suffering. This information is something Billy needed to insure that he is a little different from everyone else? Maybe he is a little "out of this world."
