I get this idea based on events and experiences that he had to face. I have had family member who

situational ironies and all deaths are narrated by a simple phrase‚ “So it goes”. This simple phrase pushes the reader to laugh at the ironic parts of life‚ even if it is death. And Billy can’t change anything in his life because‚ “Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past‚ the present and the future” (Vonnegut 60). His happiness or success in his life can only exist in his imagination through his time travels because he knows when and how he will die. The novel ends with the destruction
