Chapter 5 Self Beauty

    During this chapter, Billy is taken to Tralfamador where he is on display at the zoo. Because no one has ever seen a human before, they think that Billy is the best looking person in the world. Even though Billy is getting all of the attention, he still does not believe in the beauty that everyone else sees. He talks about how they only like him because they do not know anything else. Billy does not have the self-esteem  that the Tralfamadorians see in him.

     Another character that is a lot like Billy Pilgrim is Chicken Little. Since people always put down all of his ideas and bullied him, he began to think of himself in a negative way. He never saw himself as greatness. Even though certain people saw the greatness in him, like they saw in Billy, he did not see it in himself. Just as people on Tralfamadore love Billy, Abby Mallard (aka the ugly duckling) has a crush on Billy. Even though he doesn't see his beauty, Abby does. Abby, unlike the Tralfamadorians, has seen many other people that are better looking than Chicken Little. She likes him just the way that he is and wants him to also see that in himself.
