Chapter 7: Theme of Principle and Dreams

This chapter is where I finally start to feel effects of what it is like in the concentration camps. I can't even fathom what it would be like being a prisoner of war, and finally tasting a little bit of nutrients for the first time in lord knows how long. I feel like we really earn a piece of what Billy's story really is about; all these events that he speaks of have already happened, however I do not believe he is jumping through time. Despite all the speculation and all the confusion this book has given me, I feel that he is actually dreaming. I don't mean dreaming in the sense that all of this stuff is fake, but rather he is recalling these different memories sparatically while he is asleep. That is the conclusion that I draw as I cruise through Chapter 7, this is all just one big dream of memories if you will...this stuff is getting easier to understand...but we aren't out of the woods yet...stay tuned!
