This chapter made me wonder the never-ending dilemma of wether we would really like to know more or just stay happily unsatisfied. The only reason this is such a mystery is because you never know when it might backfire: maybe its better to just stay where you are and play it safe, but that is no option for our good old Billy. You see, Billy can see what is going to happen therefore Vonnegut knows and thats why we know: because we're reading the book and the book says Billy shall be murdered. I feel sad already that Billy is going to die over such a tiny matter, I mean, who is this Roland Weary to say Billy killed him? Billy can time-travel and at first I thought that when he traveled to the past he was just taking a stroll through memory lane, that was until he saw the future (but Billy is crazy so I can never be completely sure, like i said before: he's not trustworthy). Even if i know Billy won't die just et and I know what he'll become after the war, the author still manages to reveal more and more information that we didn't even know we needed.
I like this book, i like it a lot. The author entertains me: not only is the story itself good, but the narration is (disturbing, yet) great.
BTW: i could find the 'beard guy's' name so if someone know what I'm talking about please let me know? :)
