chapter 10

I wanted to visit Lepers "Christmas Location" this was just his home in Vermont. I took the train and then the bus through the entire New England area. I landed in Leper's town the next morning. I walked the rest of the way. But I just could not get out of my head that Leper had decided to desert the army. "If Leper was psycho the army had done it to him, and all of us were on the brink of the army". Leper was waiting for me in his window and he grabbed me quickly and brought me into the dining room. He asked me about the army and what I had known about it. I told him I knew what was normal but Leper replied with " Nromal, he reapeated bitterly. What a stupid ass word"(135). When I said this it really enraged him so much. It was all because they thought that he was a psycho and he needed to take tests and put it down on documents. This meant that he could not live a normal life. Because most jobs would not allow a person of his stature in there. Before I knew this I thought it was all because he was afraid to go to war but after all it was because he was using his head, instead of doing things first like Brinker.
