Write a conversation between yourself and Billy Pilgrim in which he tries to teach you a lesson based on his own experiences.  You must explain IN DEPTH at least 3 specific events and details from the book in order to receive full credit.  This conversation should go on as long as it takes to demonstrate YOUR UNDERSTANDING of Billy’s experiences.

Billy: Hello Cody.
Cody: Hello Billy.
Billy: Have you heard about the Tralfamadorians?
Cody: No. Who are they?
Billy: The Tralfamadorians are a race of forth dimensional beings who can look at any point in time be it past or future. Because they can look at any point in time they don't believe someone is dead when their body dies because they can see them in the past. So no one really dies they just only exist in the past.
Cody: Well that is interesting thank you for sharing this.
