Johnny Got His Gun 6

Joe is sitting there and he hears visitors coming by their vibrations. The large group appear to be placing a medal on Joe, and this makes him extremely mad. How can these generals be wasting their time giving me medals, when they could be going out there and helping with the fighting also? He starts rocking back and forth to try and tell them that he doesn't like what they are doing, but they don't understand him. He started thinking, if i can tell the size, and shape of the visitors by their vibrations, what else could i do with them also. That got him thinking about how much communication would help him get through every day. He started tapping because he remembered doing mores code with Bill when they were kids. He felt like he could use his only movement of moving his head back and forth, and create a since of mores code. This was he would also be able to communicate with his nurses, and find out the answers to questions that have been bugging him since he first got there. The second reason he keeps tapping is because if knows if he stops he will just start thinking about other things, and the tapping distracts him from letting his mind wonder.
