 * //"What the hell does liberty mean anyhow? It's just a word like house or table or any other word. Only it's a special kind of word. A guy says house and he can point to a house to prove it. But a guy says come on let's fight for liberty and he can't show you liberty. He can't prove the thing he's talking about so how in the hell can he be telling you to fight for it?"//**

=**Quote #2**=
 * This quote shows how Joe fells about liberty and the whole thing about fighting for freedom. He feels that there is many reasons and differant types of liberty. He figures and thinks that it is just another word that has no better importance then the word next to it. He uses an example in the quote that i found that basically says that if a guy says house and points to a house thats an example of it. Then he says a man says lets go fight for liberty. But he then goes on to say that he can't prove liberty with pictures or words, the only true way to prove it is withen you. But this means everyone has a differant opionion about liberty and what it means to them.**

 * //"This will be the goddamndest dime's worth a man ever had. This will be a sensation in the show world and whoever sponsors my tour will be a new Barnum and have fine notices in all the newspapers because I am something you can really holler about. I am something you can push with a money back guarantee. I am the dead-man-who-is-alive… I am the man who made the world safe for democracy. If they won't fall for that then for Christ sake they're no men. Let them join the army because the army makes men."//**
 * This quote shows how the army wanted boys like Joe to join the army. The army itself almost lured them into showing and saying descriptions of boys turning into strong, no-nonsensed men. At that time everybody would want to be like that because that made you seem tough and the coolest of the coolest. Also, they made it seem like the army was the best for anybody and wsa the best moeny spent in the whole country. This lured Poeple into the army, just like what happened to Joe and Bill. But it ended up killing one of them and almost killing the other.**

//**"He had a vision of himself as a new kind of Christ as a man who carries within himself all the seeds of a new order of things. He was the new messiah of the battlefields saying to people as I am so shall you be. For he had seen the future he had tasted it and now he was living it."**//
 * This quote shows and tells about what happened to Joe and the struggles he has been through. In the quote, it tells about the future, as if it was bound and destanded to happened. But it also says that it made him a new person that made him look at life in a different way, almost a holyer way. It also tells about him being a messiah of the battlefields. This means basically that he was an example of what happens in war and the cosequences of war. This is what happened when to Joe when he went to war, almost got killed, and then saw his life in a whole another way and used it as an example.**
