Reading this chapter really put some pictures in my mind. For some reason I felt like I was picturing those pictures that he had in my own head, and feeling the way he felt. I was so immersed in the reading that I was convinced I was there enduring the same thing they all had to. It was weird that they were going insane but at the same time it was almost normal. When he ended up shooting himself in the toe I was kind of distraught by his actions but then again its just one of those war stories right?
It was a relief that Jimmy Cross told him that he would "vouch that it was an accident" because then Rat could go home and just get away from all the histeria. The support he got from the rest of the soldiers was meaningful because they were not madd at him for taking himself out of the war but more they were kind of happy for him. Happy that he was free from his own mind.
