Ch 6: Death Post 2
For Chapter 6, I will relate characters in the book to someone in real life. That someone is Kurt Vonnegut. His first relation was to, of course, Billy Pilgrim. When Vonnegut was in the war, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge (like Billy did,) was separated by his regiment (like Billy was,) and was soon captured by Germans (like Billy.) Vonnegut also relates to Edgar Derby. While he was a POW in the war, he was elected the leader of the prisoners just as Derby was.

I like how you pointed out the similarities between Vonnegut, Edgar Derby, and Billy. Although Billy time travels, he is still very close related to Vonnegut, since both were in the war and saw the destruction of Dresden.
