Chapter 8 Post 2
In parts of this chapter we find Billy in the middle of a bomb raid in Dresden. He and the other Americans were put in an old meat locker for protection. Sometimes these raids were false alarms and this reminded me of the book The Children of Willesden Lane. This is a book about the kindertransport during World War II. She is in an orphanage and they are constantly interrupted by these bomb raids where they have to go to shelter for cover, and much like Billy's situation they were often times false alarms.

Ah, yes. As I was reading this chapter, my mind was also wandering back to this book we read in eighth grade at St. Barnabas. Lisa Jura and friends were stuck in a very sticky situation, constantly having to evacuate for false alarms and such. Some even prove to be real and they have to stay in a bomb shelter for several days, much like Billy. Good connection.
