Ch. 4 (entry #2)

Reading a piece in this chapter reminded me about an episode of South Park I was watching the other day.  In the episode Jimmy came up with a joke that everyone thought was hilarious, the fish sticks joke.  Then Cartman told everyone that he came up with the joke so that he would become famous. However; in reality Cartman was only in the same room with Jimmy when Jimmy made the joke.  In this chapter Roland Weary told the soldiers in his box car that the thing that killed him was Billy Pilgrim.  When in reality the thing that killed Weary was his own actions.  The only reason that Weary was captured by the Germans was because he decided to beat up Billy rather than hide from the encroaching German patrol. Now Lazzaro is looking for Billy to make him pay for getting Weary killed. So like Cartman, Roland lied for his own personal gain.
