As I was reading chapter 8 of Slaughter House 5 I felt pretty amused by Kilgore Trout .He reminded me of a friend of my uncle called Tomas ,who spent Christmas with my family.
In chapter 8 they about how Billy use to read all of Trouts books even though the rest of the world except Eliot Rosewater thought the books were really bad .Trout didn't sell any books so he managed a local news paper route with kids. Billy invites Trout to his anniversary party thats full of optometrist .Trout cheers up the party by hitting on Maggie and by making jokes and laughing loudly while spitting little pieces of Salmon .I must say I found Trout hilarious he reminded me so much of Tomas.

Tomas is a lot like Trout he is 64 years old and his single but his been married twice .They said that nobody can stand Tomas because he is very arrogant and likes to drink and swear a lot.Tomas has written a couple of poems that he claims are are breathtaking ,but nobody except Tomas 38 year old girlfriend really likes them.
Tomas is simply hilarious I remember remember in Christmas when we were all exchanging presents ,Tomas came in with a huge samsung box that seemed to have a plasma TV inside.Tomas was a bit drunk and he gave my uncle the box .My uncle thought it was a plasma TV and he began to thank Tomas .Tomas said it was the least he could do and that my uncle should open the box in front of everybody because its god luck .My uncle began to open the box he took out all of the paper that was intended to protect the TV and found an extra large pink bra. Instantly everybody in my family burst in laughter.This seems pretty similar to Trouts joke in the elegant party .
In another occasion I had to take a cab with Tomas the taxi driver was black and Tomas started making jokes.He told me the taxi driver was Barrack Obama, who was visiting Colombia dressed up as a taxi driver in a secret mission, I laughed so hard.The taxi driver how ever didn't find it that funny he looked at Tomas seriously and said “were are we going?” Tomas put 2 thousand pesos on the guys chest and said “take me to were ever the money can take me Obama “ again I laughed so hard .The taxi driver told me and Tomas to get out of the cab .

Even though Tomas dosent control a local News paper route with kids I wouldn't be amazed if one they I found out he did .Overall I must say I found the Chapter pretty funny and I thought of Tomas the whole chapter and I really liked Kilgore Trout.
