There are startling similarities between Desmond Hume's
time traveling and Billy Pilgrim's time traveling. Daniel
Faraday even goes so far to call it being "unstuck in
time," the exact terminology which Vonnegut used to
describe Billy Pilgrim's experiences.

The novel (and its author) are a question asked on a
game show watched by Michael Dawson shortly before
his third attempted suicide.

Billy meets aliens in the book who can perceive the past,
present and future all at once. They know the universe
will end accidentally with the push of a button; when he
asks them why they don't prevent it, they reply:

   “'He has always pressed it, and he always will.
   We always let him and we always will let him. The
   moment is structured that way.”

This is the same theory of time travel which Lost uses
and which Miles attempts to explain to Hurley (in other
words, what happened happened).

The button on Lost may be a reference to the
aforementioned button that would end the world.



   http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Slaughterhouse-Five
Slaughterhouse-Five:
• Acknowledges that homosexual
  men were among the victims of
  the Holocaust.
• Depicts sex.
• Characters (mostly soldiers at
  war) use the f-bomb in a realistic
  manner.
Anyone here work at Missouri State?




Dr. Wesley Scroggins, Associate Professor of Business at Missouri State
Dr. Elizabeth Fowler (PhD.)
   on those who suggested
banning the Harry Potter books:
   “You know…anything that
dumb people dislike this much
is probably pretty good. Let’s
         order these.”
Links for Dr. Scroggins:
• Order Speak from Amazon:
  http://goo.gl/aSag

• Look up Speak on WorldCat:
  http://goo.gl/MlJH
Links for Dr. Scroggins:
• On Missouri State’s OPAC:
  http://goo.gl/eg6x




Scroggin’s letter to the editor published 9/18/2010, so that’s
only 11 days.

Kudos to Missouri State’s libraries (and to student
protestors)!

Please: Any time a member of your faculty suggests a
particular book should be banned? Order it immediately.
