Ch 3: The Capture Post 1

For Chapter 3, the vocabulary word I will choose is "situational irony."  This fits the beginning of the chapter perfectly.  In Chapter 2, Billy, Roland, and the two scouts were being chased by German soldiers with dogs.   They were, but the ironic part was that the dog "was shivering. Her tail was between her legs."  Also, "Two of the Germans were boys in their early teens. Two were ramshackle old men... Their commander was a middle-aged corporal- red-eyed, scrawny, tough as dried beef, sick of war."  They were misfits just like Billy's group, although we were expected to believe that they were real soldiers.
