True or False

When the plane crashes, Billy is the only one to survive because of his mumbling of the words “Schlachthof-funf”, Slaughter House Five in German. This caught my attention because I found it curious that at such a moment of despair and hopelessness, the only thing Billy could think of was the address of his “prison” in Dresden. This I believe also shows in some way, why this is the name of the book. Facing death, the only vivid memory in Billy’s mind is that of Dresden, and its destruction. “Billy was unconscious for two days after that, and he dreamed millions of things, some of them true. The true things were time-travel.” This fragment caught my attention because it exposes how Billy is truly consumed by his belief of time travel. He believes to tell the difference between what is true and what is not, and he is utterly convinced that time travel is of the few things that are certain.
