Plot
Slaughterhouse-Five's story starts out with ____ describing the life of Billy pilgrim and his friend, Bernard V. O' Hare, who Billy met during World War 2. The story then transitions to Billy, now talking in first person, going to visit his friend and his family to discuss his writing of a book about the bombing of Dresden. His friend's wife proceeds to convince Billy to change the name of the book from Slaughterhouse-Five to Children's Crusade. Billy and O' Hare have friendly discussion and then he returns to his home.

The narrator alerts us that Billy partook in a plane crash in Vermont in 1968 and was put on shock therapy. There is then a flashback of Billy in the middle of the war, walking alongside Weary who continually picks on Billy for the sake of his amusement. The two of them are also accompanied by two scouts, who's names are unknown. Billy and Weary are encountered by German soldiers and taken and put in a small cottage along with several other american soldiers. Billy is ordered to participate in a photo shoot where he would pose as if he were surrendering. They are then taken, along with the rest of the American soldiers, to a boxcar train leading to a German camp. Weary's last words are accusations of Billy's responsibility of his death.

Billy then proceeds to enter his imagination where he is captured by the alien race known as, "The Talfamadorians," and they establish with him how humans mourn over death when they should not. The Tralfamadorians explain that, while you may not see them in the future you you will always have good memories of them from the past. This statement leaves Billy unafraid of death and wanting to share the information. He then travels back to a time in the war, where he is lying in a British hospital bed with Paul Lazzaro and Edger Derby on either side of him. Paul discusses with Billy how he should not underestimate him and that he has sworn to kill him. Billy then wakes up in 1968 after having a wet dream about a Porn star by the name of Montana Wildhack.
