My last blog for Lamags

In the last chapter of Johnny Got His Gun, Joe gets a new day nurse who can understand his constant tapping in morse code. He taps out a SOS message to the nurse who then leaves the room to go find a man who then walks into the room and taps on Joe's head. The man taps out, "What do you want?" Joe doesn't know what he wants because all this time he has simply just wanted to talk to somebody. All these thoughts rush to his head. What Joe really wants is his normal life back and all of his limbs. Thats what he wants but he knows it is impossible so then he thinks that he wants to go outside but he then figures it is out of hospital regulations because it is too expensive. He then starts thinking the idea of using himself as some sort of exhibit for people to see the true horror of war and what it can do to you. Joe figures that this probably wont work either because if people knew the ruth about war and what could possibly happen, no one would become part of the army. After telling the  man that he wants to be used as an exhibit, he leaves the room and then reenters telling Joe that it is against regulations. Joe becomes silent and says nothing else. Joe comes to the realization that the army only wants to forget about Joe so that this tragedy will never make it to the earth's surface because if it did it would decrease the favoritism towards the government and show people the truth about fighting.
