Slaughter house 5 blog entry 8

"He got a few paragraphs into it, and then he realized that he had read it before- years ago, in the veterans' hospital.  It was about an Earthling man and woman who were kidnapped by extra-terrestrials." Page 203 Here is another instance of parralellism between Billy's story and Kilgore's story. Billy is kidnapped and sent to a zoo on an alien planet to be looked at in awe by strange creatures. This parallels one of Trout's storys. The similarity ends there. Trout admits that his works are works of fiction, meant only to be read on the light of fictional awareness. Billy, though, maintains that he is telling a factual story. This is all well and good, but Billy lacks empirical evidence. He may sound convincing and thorough in his accounts of how stories, but that is not enough. Tangible proof is needed.
