Chapter 8 Money doesn't grow on Trees

     During Chapter 8, we meet the character of Kilgore Trout. He is not only a failed author, but he is also sells newspapers. But no, he doesn't sell them himself, he makes children see them! Not only does he make them see them, but if they try and quit he just yells at him! During this chapter, he offers a trip to a winehouse  to the person, and their parents, who sells the most magazines in the next two months. When a little girl asks if her sister can come along, he says "You think money grows on trees?" That question made me think of the cartoon above. When Trout says this, the reader learns a lot about the kind of person that Trout is. The reader learns that Trout is not a kid person, nor does he care about anyone. Even the people that consider him friends say "he has also become Trout's friend, to the extent that anyone can become a friend of Trout, who is a bitter man." Throughout this chapter, we learn a lot about the character of Kilgore Trout who is a friend and role model for Billy Pilgrim.
