Johnny Got his Gun 8
What Joe wants he thinks is a no brainer. It isn't like he wants a materialistic item like a yacht or a billion dollars. All he wants is to be back to normal. He wants to have his arms and legs back. He wants to be able to talk and listen and do thinks he used to be able to do. He realizes that the nurses and doctors are not going to be able to give him his legs back or all of the things he used to have, so he changes what he wants. He decides that now he just wants to be able to leave the prison he is in. He wants to feel the air on his face. He realizes that this would cost alot of money for him to survive because he would have to pay for his nurses and have some way to pay for all of his medicine. Then he decided that he would go out and speak against war. People would love to go and and see the messed up man with no face, arms, or legs. They go to the circus and see bearded ladies or other weird people, so they would be exxcited to see a man that is as messed up as he is. He could go out and talk agaisnt war and tell people what they are getting into. This was against regulations because they dont want to let people out and speak against war. Then in the future when there is another war the children will know what they have instore for them and they wont want to fight the war.

I think that it's interesting when you talk about how he didn't want a materialistic item, but a normal life, in everyday society. And you're right, I think that it is a no brainer. He shouldn't just be held up in a stuffy old hospital all day. Good blog!
