Not much really stuck out to me in this chapter, other than if Billy keeps going into the past why doesn't he change anything. Billy could have warned the pilot of the crash that was about to occur. Billy could have warned "the three musketeers" about the approaching Germans, and Billy would have never been captured. This reminds me of the movie "Back to the Future" except Billy doesn't try to change anything, but Marty McFly does. Billy not trying to change anything also leads me to believe that he isn't actually traveling in time, but dreaming and having flashbacks of past memories.
It also frustrated me that Billy never tried to change anything, throughout the whole book, if he knew the events that were about to occur in his life. I wish Billy would have tried to prevent this plane crash, if he was going to prevent anything. I also drew the flashback conclusion- or that Billy is just crazy.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Billy does not change any of the events, because he accepts life the way it is. He knows that his life is surrounded by death, but he also realizes that it is just another aspect of life.
