Chapter 7 Unconscious Visions


     During Chapter 7, Billy is moved to a different location and is given surgery. "A famous brain surgeon came from Boston and operated on him for three hours." During this operation, "Billy was unconscious for two days after that, and he dreamed millions of things, some of them true." This part of the book made me think of the book Heaven is for Real. In this book, a little boy is in the hospital having surgery just like Billy. Just as Billy did, the boy in the story had many different visions. One of his visions was that he had was that he went to heaven and back. Billy also had many visions, most of them were time traveling. Even though many people did not believe both of them, they both stand behind the visions that they had. During this, Billy traveled to Tralfamadore and when he returned to tell people his story, many thought that he was either crazy or had an insane imagination. The boy from the story also was questioned when he first began to explain what he saw during his sugery.Both the boy from Heaven is for Real and Billy Pilgrim from Slaughterhouse-five experienced many things during and after their surgeries that not many other people will experience and were questioned from their experiences.
