Thoughts over Ch. 8

The event that I found most interesting and weird was when Billy cowered away from the singing quartet at his party. He compared the singing quartet to the four officers that survived the night Dresden was destroyed. The fact that he compared an innocent group of singers to a group of surviving officers reminds me of when some sees a mouse on the floor of their kitchen. They jump up and cower away as if the little creature has a contagious disease. When Billy cowered away from the singers you realize just how tragic and horrible the events were on that night that Dresden was destroyed.
