Entry 17, Chapter 9 - Theme

     A theme, reinforced by the Tralfamadorians, is that we need to always remember the good moments and forget the bad memories. The natives of Tralfamadore were," to advise Billy to concentrate on the happy moments of his life, and to ignore the unhappy ones." Themes in stories are there to advise the readers to learn something about life and possibly enforce in their own lives. This theme about forgetting the terrible memories, I think, should be adopted by everyone.
