Was there a specific thing that made him become an outcast, or was he seen in that way his entire life?

Is there an underlying meaning or is the meaning as simple as the saying? And at the end of the book, why focus on death  especially 
from Darwin's outlook ?

Also in Chapter 6, pg 145, what does Vonnegut mean when he states ¨The boots fit perfectly.

Did they just go on living? Why didn't they need Billy any more? What about Billy's baby on Tralfamadore? Did Montana Wildhack ever say anything about it?

If so can we see any possible drug related connections from the different ideas that he expresses?

Was Edgar Derby representative of one of Kurt's war friends that died? Is that why he made Edgar die in the book?
