Chapter 3

I think we can all agree that chapter3 was depressing at best. Billy, starving and loosing desire to live, is captured by Nazis while wandering through the forest with Weary. From there, they are marched first to an outpost, and then to a train station. They are forced onto the trains, where billy takes up a spot near the ventilator; a choice he will later regret. For days and days the train travels, no food is distributed and people begin to die, including a hobo that got mixed in with prisoners of war on accident. The whole time Billy is going through a psychofreakout. He is unstuck in time and traveling freely; one minute he is in his late 70's, another he is in Luxemborg, and all the while going crazy.
