"I know, I know, I know" (10). This line is the saddest part of the book thus far. I'm not quite sure why I think this is so sad, but to me it is. It reminds me of how many times we have heard about things, but never experienced them. For Billy, he was actually there. He saw everything happen, so he doesn't need to hear stories that others have heard. There's just such a difference between hearing about what happened, and actually being there.
