chap 4 quote

"The coat that Billy Pilgrim got had been crumpled and frozen in such a way, and was so small, that it appeared to be not a coat but a sort of large black, three cornered hat." pg. 103

1. I picked this quote, because i thought it was interesting how the Germans treated him and that he didn't really mind or stand up for himself.

2. This jacket was a civilian jacket. It is significant, because it represents how they view Billy as a mentally ill and psycho person. On the contrary, Billy doesn't really mind he just takes things as they are. He thought that life was just supposed to be miserable and thats it, it is what it is. He doesn't even really realize how crazy he actually is.

3. You can link this to a real-life situation in which someone who was mentally ill or just insane would where this kind of jacket.
