Chapter Four: Why?

When Billy is abducted by the Tralfamadorians, he asks a question that all of us would ask in a similar situation: "Why?"

I think this shows that the human condition is full of curiosity. In our lives, when an act of pure chance occurs (good or bad), we often wonder why we were the one chosen over all the other people who could have been. Vonnegut showed an accurate depiction of human behavior by making Billy ask such a simple question.
