Time Travel

This is the chapter where we are first introduced to Billy Pilgrim. Once I learned he has become “unstuck in time” and travels through time unexpectedly, I related it with a film I saw a while ago called The Butterfly Effect. This is a movie about a boy who can also travel through time, and throughout the entire film we are amazed by how one minute change can lead to a whole new parallel universe in which things would have resulted to be completely different. I find Billy to be similar to this boy, only he cannot control what moment in his life he will go to next, and cannot change anything he has done. I also thought about how much I would like to go back in time, and fix all that I have done wrong, mistakes I know I made and can make right with what I know now. I would die to know what would result of changing a decision I made in the past. In reality, there are infinite amount of parallel universes that could result from different decisions we might have taken at a given moment.
