There are several parts about this chapter that puzzled and confused me. The author tells a story about the main character Billy Pilgrim but it is short and not very detailed. Some of them are even hard to believe. At the end of almost all of his recounted stories he writes "So it goes." This makes me think maybe that didn't really happen and is just made up. For example, on pages 36-37 he recalls a story about torture and then says So it goes.
What made me think about this even more is the fact that in the first chapter which was sort of like an introduction, the author said "All this happened, more or less." Then goes on to explain how pretty much everything is true except for the names of people.
