Post #5: An Analogy

Chapter 3

"Billy drove through a scene of even greater desolation.  It looked like Dresden after it was fire-bombed-- like the surface of the moon." (page 59)

                                           

Throughout this chapter, Billy time travels many times.  One time he is driving to a Lions Club meeting  in his Cadillac.  The area he was driving through was emptied and ready for urban renewal.  Billy used the analogy of Dresden and the moon to compare and describe the similarities of the two to the gutted and desolate area.
