Chapter Four

Summary (Highlights):

• First kidnapping from the Tralfamadores flying saucer.
• Arrival at the prison.
• Weary's wish.
• Second kidnapping.
• Free will on earth

Analysis:

During the chapter, Billy mocks war when he is watching the war movie and begins to watch it backwards where everyone ends up to be a baby.

Also we are introduced to the Tralfamadores philosophy about free will and how humans are captured like bugs in amber.

Also since we know that Billy does not die of war nor the plane crash, we can conclude that Paul Lazarro will kill him in avenges in name of Roland Weary's dying wish. 

Relation:

At the end of the chapter, when the aliens mention something about free will and how this is affects earth, it reminded me of the book I read in philosophy by Jean Paul Sartre- Existentialism is a Humanism. It states the same idea that is being stated in this book. 

Also when the author mentioned the 'bug stuck in amber' it created an image in my mind of the many museums that I've been too where there is an immense amount of fossilized amber.
