In chapter 9, the car crash that Valencia gets into reminds me of when me and my friend got in a car crash. The situations are similar because we both got hit from behind. Although Valencia's crash was way more severe, the after effects are similar because the crash leaves you feeling stunned and confused.
Also, an important point brought up in this chapter is that the conception of history is shaped by those who write about it. Vonnegut seems to dislike this. We are often sheltered from the truth and instead of hearing about the true and horrible accounts that took place we get a sugar coated version that is not what really happened.
