The Final Post of the Summer. So it goes.

For my final post for the summer, I thought I'd try to make it a little fancier and add another Youtube video. This song, "Keep Holding On" but Avril Lavinge, really was ringing in my head as I finished the book. Billy Pilgrim went through so much in his lifetime, and all he was trying to do was to "keep holding on" to make it through all of his struggles. Another part in the song, where she sings, "There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do. There's no other way when it comes to the truth," reminded me of the idea that he doesn't believe in free will. In the end, for him, there was nothing he could do to out-run his fate, a depressing one at that. If only he could have forced himself to make some decisions to change all of the bad events that happened in his life. Oh well, so it goes.
