Ch 6: Death Post 1

The Lit Term for Chapter 6: Death (Billy's death) is "foil character."  I personally think that Paul Lazzaro and Billy Pilgrim are foils.  Billy is a peaceful person. Lazzaro, not so much.  Billy wished for peace on Earth during his time on Tralfamadore while Lazzaro "put points on the ends," and "stuck 'em into a steak." He then waited while the dog ate the steak and soon "Blood started coming out of his mouth. He started crying, and he rolled on the ground, as though the knives were on the outside of him."  He did put sharp metal into a steak and fed it to a dog, so he's not quite the nicest guy you'll meet.
