Viviana

I just read one of Viviana Correa´s blog entires and once again it got me thinking http://vivianacorrea-eng10.blogspot.com/2011/10/billy-is-normal-we-are-crazy.html. She mentioned that we may be the ones that are crazy not Billy. That truly what Billy is, is a brave person just reaching another kind of ideology which may be the right one. I completely agree with her. I mean, we were taught what to believe and even though people are different we almost all have the same bases in life. As I mentioned earlier in one of my blog entries, http://cristinaescallon.blogspot.com/2011/09/little-bit-of-slaughter-five.html we were all taught that death was a sad thing, and that is what most people believe. But we just say that because it is one of our principles, just as the Trafalmadorians have there own different principles as "so it goes".

As Viviana mentions, Billy is a brave person. We can see this not only with the example that Viviana laid out about the plane, but also just for the whole appearance that he has shown us throughout the book. His beliefs, way of being, is not normal to us but that is the brave thing he does. Billy doesn't stay  quite about it, he stands up for his beliefs not caring what others will say. He knows that he will just seem crazy to everyone but he doesn't care. Isn't that how the greatest leaders of our world started? Saying what they believed not caring for what others would think? Take into account Martin Luther King Jr, Ghandi, even Jesus. Sometimes we don't say what we believe, scared about what other will think, but who cares because with those opinions we can truly make a difference.
