Chapter 4 Tralfamadorians and Buggers

     The scene described in Chapter 4, which describes the Tralfamadorians, is very similar to the Buggers in the book Ender's Game. "There were two peepholes inside the airlock- with yellow eyes pressed to them. There was a speaker on the wall. The Tralfamadorians had no voice boxes. They communicated telepathically. They were able to talk to Billy be means of a computer and a sort of electric organ which made every earthling speech sound." The Tralfamadorians were an extraterrestrial species that taken communication with people from Earth, just as the Buggers in Ender's Game.
     The Tralfamadorians in Slaughterhouse-five and the Buggers in Ender's Game have many similar characteristics.  Both of the extraterrestrial species are from another planet that are seeking communication between them and the people of earth. Both species also communicate telepathically. Because of their telepathy, it makes it very difficult for the people of earth  to understand them. The people of earth, in both books, have to make special devices, or devices made for them, to be able to communicate with the Tralfamadorians and the Buggers. Just as the Tralfamadorians are kidnapping people of earth, the Buggers also come to earth to communicate with the people of earth. Both of the extraterrestrial species have harmed the earthlings in some way or another. The buggers have taken war on the planet of earth and the Tralfamadorians are holding people of earth captive on their planet. The Tralfamadorians of Slaughterhouse-five  and the Buggers of Ender's Game are very similar.
