Hey Guys,
Here are the questions from last week that everyone answered in their Notebooks last week:
1. What does Billy Dream that he is when he is high on Morphine?
2. How does the scene with the punched prisoner mimic a scene with the Trafalmadorians? Specifically, what words are exchanged that are similar?
3. While Billy is talking with Valencia in the hospital, what does she talk about that reveals something about her personality? What does it reveal about her?
4. In Chapter 5, at which two points does he insert himself? The author, not Billy Pilgrim, but Vonnegut?
5. There's time travel, and there's the alien abduction. Billy comes unstuck in time in 1944 (in the snow with Weary), and then abducted in 1967 (the night of his daughter's wedding). Why are these seperate events? What function does time travel have, that the abduction does not?
Answer these in full short responses, in your notebook.

Also, since I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to distribute incendiary material, I'm going to attach the Zizek article that I mentioned in class that helped me feel better about the current state of things in America. Plus I think it is a good think piece about a very real concern today.
