Chapter six: Billy's death

In this chapter, Billy describes a time in which he traveled in time to see his own death.  The details of his death seem to be unreal.  He is supposedly to be shot and assassinated by a laser gun while Chicago is "hydrogen-bombed by angry Chinamen".  The scene is written to resemble that of a science fiction novel which leads the reader back to Billy's time in the mental ward.  The connection causes me to begins to think that many of his thoughts could be made up due to his infatuation with the science fiction novels.  This could be connected with Billy's crazed ideas about Tralfamadore.  The ideas in the mind of Billy cannot be deemed true or false until the conclusion of the novel because of the wild ideas being presented throughout the novel.
