Unstuck in Time For Real

In class we’ve discussed over and over again whether or not Billy Pilgrim is unstuck in time or not. Well, the ability of traveling in time would allow you to see events from the past and events from the future. We weren’t sure if he was really traveling in time or just remembering scenes from the war and from his past life. However, while you are alive you cannot possibly remember your own death. You can only remember events in the past and death can never be in the past, because once you die, there is no more future from which you can remember, and therefore death can never be remembered. Well…Then how did Billy know that he was going to die exactly the day he died? Simple…He really is unstuck in time. In page 141, the novel says that Billy recorded in a tape the exact date of his death: “I, Billy Pilgrim, will die, have died, and always will die on February thirteenth, 1976.” So, finally I think we can conclude that Billy Pilgrim is really unstuck in time. However I am just referring to Billy Pilgrim. Not the Narrator, since we are not yet sure if they are the same, related, or not related at all.
