X.  Ending?

The final chapter of slaughterhouse-5 ends in a very good way, a happy ending because it’s not tragic in any sense. Basically he just wants everyone to know what his experience was and tell the whole world about the trafalmadorians, but he keeps it to himself.

A very interesting fact of the book is that Billy cant control his time travel, which means he cant control his memories, the ones that are lost forever o the one that you will remember for the rest of your life.

The final phrase of the book is “Poo-tee-weet.” If you glance at it once, this might seem really random and with not much sence, but after reading it and having a discussion in class, what we concluded was that this really means “So It Goes.” The book is concluded by the same phrase the book emphasizes all the time, it means that Vonnegut, this phrase resumes the whole point of the book, that there is no justice in death.
