This is absurd

Absurd -utterly or obviously senseless, illogical, or untrue; contrary to all reason or common sense; laughably foolish or false.
I find some of the things we "have" to learn in school is really necessary , I find it absurd.

SCHLACHTOF ZWEI

So in the beginning he introduces this character billy that had been in a bad plane crash and was the only one to survive and the daughter thinks he has gone senile but he says he hasn't and he is telling his whole story about what happened from what he remembers from traveling through time in the world war and how he was with these 3 guys and he had no guns or anything to protect them but just them.

SCHLACHTHOF EINS

1.i like how he would just change the subject right away
2. Didn't really understand why he would change the subject though
3.think it's odd how he finds death funny
4. Cannot really see the irony that he seems to see I'm the death of the tea pot man
5. Like how he explained his life in 3 lines
6.dont understand poo-tee-weet
7. Like how he said it in the beginning and in the end
8. Like how his war book was the first chapter
9. Don't like how short his "war book" was could have gone more into detail
10. Think it's funny how he relates the writing to be written by a pillar of salt
