Slaughter house 5 blog entry 6

"it predicted the wide spread use of burning jellied gasoline on humans.". Page 168 I mentioned earlier that I believe events in Billys life are textually based in Trouts sci fi novels. First, there is the novel about fourth dimension creatures. This is reflected in the tralfamadorians. Another similarity is found in one of Trouts books, the gutless wanderer. The book describes the use of jellied gasoline on human beings from planes. This obviously connects the fire bombings present throughout the war. The main example is Dresden. I stick by the conjecture that Billy is delusional, and heavily influenced by the works of Kilgore Trout.
