The Two Narrators

Although at first, I didn't give it much thought, I now find it very interesting how the book is set up with the narrator. I often times don't catch on to things like this as easily, but after being in some class discussions about the narration of this book, I've become eager to know. “The truth of it startled him. It would make a good epitaph for Billy Pilgrim-and for me too.” (PDF File) At first, I wondered if the narrator is Billy Pilgrim. After reading this, I found it obvious that this was not the case. In this line, it says "for Billy Pilgrim-and for me too." which is a perfect example to show that the narrator and Billy are two different people. "Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time." (PDF File) This is another example showing that the narrator and Billy are different because it talks about Billy Pilgrim in third person, while the book also has first person. Today's class discussion also proved after some valid points that this was the case. I believe that the only way to really know is to keep on reading to find out more clues and become more confident in my answer.
