Chapter 3

The concept of Chapter three is one that I can relate to and understand completely. Billy is amidst being a prisoner during World War Two and keeps completly disconnecting himself from the current situation and fastforwards to certian periods that are still to come in his lifetime. When one feels so hopeless and somewhat in a state of disbelief zoning out and leaving the situation is really the best solution. It allows to to make the best of a situation, while it won't make it easier it can make time pass much fatser and enable you to calm down. Chapter Three really appealed to me because it really stated a large truth about the nature of human beings and what they will do to cope with tough situations.

Yeah, for sure, Emma. It’s true that every time he is in disbelief or would prefer to not be in the situation he is in, Billy can zone out, or fall asleep and end up in a different place until he can calm down about the situation.
